Hi all, I recently came across 2 flowerhorns, I have pics I need identified, was told big one male and yellow one female but dorsal fin marking suggest otherwise, please help. IMG_20200427_164629.jpgIMG_20200427_164623.jpgIMG_20200427_164622.jpgIMG_20200427_164618.jpgIMG_20200427_164616.jpg

Lovely fish (the yellow one). The yellow one looks to be a fader and the other one red dragon. Not sure about the gender, you might be right though and it's other way around.

Ahh you're a bloody legend, I'll try to get some pics of the vents later, I'm just hoping for a male is all, I do have another flowerhorn seperated on its own, what do you think of this one? Might be hard to tell with these pics tho.IMG_20200427_154257.jpgIMG_20200427_154150.jpgIMG_20200427_154138.jpgIMG_20200427_154114.jpg

It was just a guess. Definite way is to vent the fish. The fader is still small to be vented. How big is this one, you might have to wait a little as well.
