Hello, new to flowernhorns but not fish keeping. I have a various tanks in size both fresh and salt, but need help with a specific tank and fish. I was given this fish as a rescue, it had been in some fights and had some damage to its side and mouth. I was told that it is a female and that it is a Red Monkey... Any help in identifying and any info on what "she" might look like? Here are a few pics from about a month ago.

It does look like a female red monkey to me. Amphilophus barring and flowerhorn pearling and flowerline. A lot of SRMs have an overbite as she does too. She may or may not fade, but I think she's beautiful just the way she is.

Sorry no idea here as well, but I am glad to see you are enjoying the fish, it is pretty. Keep posted.
 
Some photos taken this morning, she is healthy and doing well. Hard to see on the side but she has filled in that spot with some red color.

So I have a few tanks but, I have 2 55 gallons and one is housing my flowerhorn and still deciding on what to do with the other. So first pic is what the flowerhorns tank is sitting on, and not very pretty. Second is a dual 55 gallon tank stand I was working on today. Sorry for the quality of the pics, I will take some better ones when Im done.
