Hey Rivin, it's really kind of hard to tell exactly what kind of FH you have, and it's sex due to it still being too young to tell for sure. Also nowadays there are so many mixes of FH's that it's getting harder and harder to tell. That said if I had to guess I'd say it's a ZZ Dragon like ~90% of FH owners have. Looks to have some pretty nice pearling. As for gender I don't see any black on the dorsal fin as females often have, but also not seeing much of a hump yet, so only time will tell, should be able to see better in a month or three.
 
Too young tell gender. And type is anyones guess. ZZ/RD would be my random guess. This fish is looking stressed. I would give him/her some plastic plants to hide behind or some smooth surfaced decoration that the fish can interact with.

Very young fish...agree ZZ type. Has nice spangling. Put in some floating plastic plants, muted light and a nice hide. Fish that young can be skittish and may not eat at first. Maybe a thin skim of dark substrate too.
