u will have to work on ur fh's color man
it might be a female....im not sure...something about a dot on the dorsal fin?

 

[terminalMTS]

i believe it is female too. i don't think it will be a stunner, but she should be pretty. she will get more color as she matures if you feed high quality foods with asthaxithin and other color enhancers.

What should i do with her???? should i get her a male????

 

[BrynMichael]

Female for sure. Zhen Zhou. If you want to breed remember Low grade x Low grade = Low grade. I would get a high grade male because when you cross Low grade with high grade you will have a few high grade fry vs. all low grade.

ok thanks!!!! what should i look for in the fh to make sure its high grade??

Pearling, Color, Flowerline

dont forget kok and also it a female

I think she is pretty.. Her color WILL most likely improve if you feed her good food like Hikari, Azoo, NLS and maybe even ching mix or grand sumo ( the last 2 as supplements only)

I would suggest that you outgrow her for a while and then decide if you want to breed her or not...
