You have to wait until the fader finished fading only then it will show its colour.. In the meantime, just keep the water in pristine condition..
Nice flowerhorns btw :)

What size tank becuz it looks way to small for all that...?

this isn't answering the OP's question.

OP: the first one is a short bodied type. the second looks like a male red dragon to me. the third is a fader type. i'm still new to flowerhorn's so can't help much. but you are in the right forum for FH. nice fish, btw.
 
the top is a male because it got a kok nutual hump, second male with a small kok and the faded one looks like a female, and i also think its a cross with a red devil and flowerhorn. im thinkin that because red devil crosses are known to fade!

really nice fh though
 
Thx for the id of the FH. To answer wat tank they are, first FH is in a 120 with parrots fish. The other two is in a 75. About the last FH, anyone really sure its a female? If so than I want to plan ahead on the tank so I can let her breed with my second male FH
 
Male Shortbody ZZ.
A stressed ZZ. You will have to vent or wait for eggs to be certain with that fish.
Fader, Probable female. Poor quality pictures.
100% positive on those assumptions.
*BTW. Nuchal hump does NOT mean male. Also "fading" is a recessive trait, That alot of flowerhorns are bred for. This doesnt mean they were product of Fh Midas/RD parents. Just means Midas/RD is in the linage somewhere.

Haha is that a fake pine tree?

Yes it's fake..lol...nice decoration though...But when you mention the zz is stress, are you talking about the first one or the second one because those two are not the same FH. Also how can you tell if it is stress or not?
