Looks to be a short bodied zz? Not completely sure. Price estimate also, it's 6-7 inches.

well alot of short body fish start that way but dont stay that way but yes compact now female, what type to me is hard to say until they are close to full grown they can change at least on the color end.I have seen my fry grow up and some turn out different then the rest of them .my first patch out of what I kept turn out just like the the parents but one looks like it is much more red maybe even super red but it could change its still small but looks different then when the parent were small.Maybe I am wrong but I wonder if like human their some genes that pop up in some of the off spring.

I'm pretty sure 7 inches is close to full grown for a female flowerhorn.
