Help I.D. Please

[pi-eyed]

I had this fish given to me last night. I was told that it is a flowerhorn..I think it looks like my midas. I had to seperate this one from my midas--midas doesn't like anybody--lol.. This fish is peaceful. Please let me know what it is and possibly the sex.

Thanks guys/gals,
Chris

Rose queen?--Is that a type of FH? any guess on the sex? This one is a little bigger than my midas with no "hump". I know my midas doesn't like this one at all lol!!! I put midas in his own 55g. He's turning psycho!!!

Thanks for the help,
Chris

I see Vieja features, As well as Midas. Decent looking rose queen.
A rose queen isnt considered a flowerhorn, but it is a very desirable hybrid.
I am having a tough time sexing this one. Might be the pictures, but im thinking male.
These fish come with bad attitudes, Can get up to 15in, And more often than not they are sterile.

Here are a couple more pics. He/She is a beautiful fish with nice color and a pretty laid back attitude. He chases around my little pacu but everyone does..lol.. Thanks for looking-thanks for the help!!!!
