Anyone know what kind of flowerhorn this is? I picked him up a few weeks ago for $5, and I thought he looked nice then, but his colors just keep getting better and better. BTW, he's only 2.5 inches (actually measured him today rather than eyeballing like I normally do).

when I first got him 2 weeks ago:

Looks like a Kamalau FH. Congratulations it looks like you did a very good pick, take care of him I think he's on his way to become a stunner, I see his kok 's nicely starting to show.


Why dont you start a prorgession thread and keep us updated about him?.



Cheers.
 
when I first saw him he was an inch long... he was in a tank with 6 other flowerhorns that all came in at the same time. So after two weeks, I came in and he was still there, but was triple the size of all the other flowerhorns and had them all pinned in a corner. My buddy actually is the night manager at the store, and when I looked at the tag on the tank he had put the largest one on hold for me. He gave it to me for the price he brought it in at (a full $5), just because he knew it would be going to a good home and he wanted to be able to see how it would turn out.

BTW, he seems to have paired with the slightly smaller creamsicle red devil in the tank he's currently in.
 
Looking at pictures I believe Armand was right with the Kamalau flowerhorn! Thanks everyone!
 
Very Nice looking FH.
