I adoped one almost adult(5" that time) and a juvenile(2.5" back then) FH exactly1 month ago.
Named them Macaroni and Fusilli.

Here is Macaroni who is 6" including the tail now. Macaroni I know is a male. He also lives in a 50G with a paired up female Reddevil- BPC Hybrid female which is 6". They get along very very well.

Then there is Fusilli

It is around 3.5" now. Not sure male or female It lives in a 60G community tank(for now) with a 8" Oscar named Oscar, 5" true BPC named Geroge and it's mate Emily which is 4" female BPC+RedDevil Hybrid and Robert a 5.5" Convict male. This tank willl be upgraded to a 120G in April and Fusilli will be re-homed.

Some pictures of Fusilli.

Unlike Macaroni who is very low on aggression, Fusilli is aggressive. Only reason I have it in a community because it is smaller and at the bottom of pecking order. But Fusilli very cunningly nasty where he will go do quick nips at fishes and runs away. lately I can see he has started challenging my 5" true BPC(goofy mouthed one) who is the top-dog(or top fish in that tank). It also tried to lip-lock with Emily to fight, but usually George intervenes and chases it away. It also nips Oscar while it is not looking, only to get chased again. I can also see sometimes Fusilli nips and hides before Oscar finds out what nipped him.

So I will be rehoming in next one month's time as I know this one is a trouble maker and I do not want 2 seperate flower-horn tanks at home.

So it will be great if you guys could tell me which type of Flowerhorn they are. And if they have any thing such as Grade. And finally whether Fusilli likely to be male or female.
