Pearly red zz

Thank you.

Yes Pearly ZZ ( and thats a strain but if someone says "ZZ Malau touch" should not be wrong...)

A very impressive fish, Thick and bulky body and superb pearling... what size he is??

 

[dmcskoolkid]

He is 10 inches thick and big with lots of personality.

 

[Kaliedoscope]

Kammalau. It is considered from the ZZ class, but carries more pearl. The pearl is excellent.

 

[dmcskoolkid]

Thank you. What would be a nutritious food for him?

 

[AlphaTintu]

I feed mine, Hikari gold, Hikari frozen dried bloodworms, tetra baby shrimp dried, and I am gonna add Hikari Frozen dried krill.. These would include all natural nutritions! I am keeping away the fast head booster and color enhancing food, they are effective but fish looks like the dyed color fish and eventually shorten his life span!!

 

[AlphaTintu]

I never feed the live food as they are not good for health of FH, thats just me though!!

With so many cross breeds these days, kind of difficult to tell but it resembles Malau family.
