Interesting coloration.. Could be texas/flowerhorn hybrid. But he does look very syn base. Meaning I see a lot of vieja traits in him.. Grow him out. You may have something really interesting there..

BP X ZZ, or a first generation kamfa

looks very similar to what I just bought recently from petsmart, a 2 inch fry that is ID'ed here to be a kamfa fh...

did it look anything like this when it was smaller? I'm trying to figure out what my little guy is going to look like when he gets bigger...

If you put them in lighter colored tanks it will wash out that green color, just throwing that out there.

thats interesting. the background is black but the bottom is bare, with natural wood color countertop showing through... Im still reading up on this effect that background has on the color. lots of people say it effects the red color in the fish...

From what I have seen personally, white gravel washes out the body color with impacting red too much. I found that Red Dragons always looked nice over white gravel with a blue blackground. Black can deepen the red but it also darkens the body color which can be unappealing depending on the fish's body color.

Your tank may have a bare bottom but the stand underneath will also effect it.
