Flowerhorn id

[Droberts1129]

I was curious if anyone could help identify the type of flowerhorn I have and your opinion on his grade... although this doesn't really matter because I love him either way. I'm just really curious and all negative or positive feedback will not make me like him anymore.
He is mine and has the best personality I have ever had in a fish.

Looks like a Super red dragon with some kamfa mixed in. I don't know what you want to me to tell you when it comes to grade. It's a nice looking fish but it's up to the eye of the beholder. It's shooting the **** when it comes to grade. I could say this is an A when this could be someone else's B. Obviously actual competitions probably have their own criteria they follow for grading but outside of competition it's subjective. Everyone has their preferences.

Thanks for your reply and that's exactly what I was thinking on grade...
He rocks!!!!

I agree with HybridFinatic
As for grading, it really is about what you think. I would say that it is very nice, especially if those red and blues are fired up.

I'd agree that it's a ZZ Red Dragon. As for a grade I'd probably give him a B+ just due to him not having the brightest red color and the flowerline is not fully connected as well as it's not straight. Still a nice looking FH tho, love the pearling on his kok. Only thing I would work on his getting his gut to slim down just a lil bit. It's healthy for em to have a gut just after feeding but it shouldn't linger for more then a few hours afterwards. I would suggest setting up a fasting day once a week where he doesn't get fed at all the entire day. This help keep em nice and lean without developing a beer gut lol.

Thanks for the reply. I have started setting a Sunday fasting day for all of my fish as I see the importance also for their digestive system.

Thanks for the reply and I now definitely have a better understanding of the flowers. I have enjoyed learning as much as I can about flowerhorns!!
