Hi all flowerhorn experts! I have been keeping flowerhorns for a year or two now and while I know how to properly care for one, I am not totally experienced on the different types or pricing of a flowerhorn in a breeder sense. I have never sold any of my Flowerhorns. I would like to know two things about my flowerhorn Trouble:
1. What type do you think he is?
2. What would you sell him for at his current size and color?

For price I was thinking 50-60$, but I wanna know if I’m maybe underselling him, or even overselling him. Thanks! (BTW I’m only selling local so sadly he won’t be for sale here, sorry any that are interested).
EDIT: I will post photos shortly but I just did a waterchange and he is a bit discolored, I wanna show him in his best light.
 
1. He seems to be of red dragon variety.
2. Price is tricky as LFS can sell this guy for 150 but online seller could sell him for 50 and shipping would be another 50. I would say just you got price about right.

So maybe do 75?

Is that not a female?
Unless it has been vented we won't know for 100% certain, it's all just speculation atm based on the current size of the kok. But appearances can be very deceiving, I know this from person experiences. This FH here I raised up thinking it was a male but he actually turned out to be a she when I took her out and vented her one day. Her name is Big Bertha because of her manly appearance lol.

Btw don't pay any attention to the yellow look of the water. It's just the type of lighting I have on the tank. Least to say it's not my favorite lighting in the world but it does the job.
