id my first FH please

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Cute little guy, nothing fancy but is a ZZ which is basically the run of the mill fh. I dig his body shape but he looks to be a little stressed out. New to the home or has a bully? I would also feed him some nice high protein foods to beef him up as well pellets with color enhancers like alife or chingmix.

If this is your first FH you started with a nice one, you should have seen mine :P
 
lol sweet, cant beat free

pic is from being in the tank for 10 min after being in a bucket for 1 1/2 hours, so stressed you ask, yes definetely.

Thats what I figured, you can see some nice coloring in him so feed him food to bring that out and this fish may blossom into a killer fish. At 4" he is shoing a head already and colors so make sure he is the alpha fish and keep the girls away from him. What are his take mates? As he matures it may get ugly so keep an eye on the interactions with other fish.
 
nice ZZ you can get that from the prominent lips and the bulging eyes and the flower near the eye
and might be a male as it has nice nuchal hump coming along
the light bars coming will be gone once he is settled and the color might be a little more reddish near the face as he grows
and move the oscar out before he gets killed(talking about the second pic here )
