i got this fry from a friend who doesn't know what it is (he got it given from a shop) ,it looks like some kind of flowerhorn to me but i'm no expert ,it might be to young to tell for sure it's only 1" long.

it looks a bit fat as it's just stuffed it's self on bloodworms, i'm not sure whether to keep it or not.

Not sure how you can say rd with confidence, all rd, or zz fry in general, I've ever had all had a "flower" on the head and were slightly darker than OP's fry.

They can grow the "flower" on the head as they get older. I've raised a fair share of ZZ RD fry to know lol. The red eyes are also a big indicator.
 
i've only had him a few days and he eats like a pig ,feeding on nls so should put some size on fairly quickly.
