Try a google for fish diseases or poor diets which can result in big bellies.
I dont even know what a zz flowerhorn is.

ZZ is a rating, so AA is top quality $$$$$ flowerhorn and ZZ is $ low quality flowerhorn.

Im new to FH but im pretty sure thats not true. And if it was at one point, it sure as hell isnt now... ZZ stands for Zhen Zhu


ZZ is a sub species of FH... there are ZZ, Kamfa, Golden monkey, etc etc etc... ZZ is just one of them, lots of red, light colored body with nice pearls. There are high grade ZZ that are very, very expensive.

here is a high quality Zhen Zhu picture.


Look at this picture, light color (After the red) nice red, big pearls, big unbroken flowerline, almost into the KOK, perfect size body, great fins. Almost a Masterpiece... So, Zhen Zhu are a type of fish, not a rating.

You are probably right, That is what a guy at my pet store said when I tried to trade in my flowerhorn, he said is was a grade ZZ and he would only give my $3 for it.
 
zz have stomache problems.. i think this thread is up twice... already answered once today
 
some zz get stomache bulges and die shortly after. low percentage. i think birth defect
 
some people have said parasite.. but i never seen kamfa, srt, or monkey with bloat

he was trying to rip you off, or he was an idiot. There are high quality ZZ species as i've shown, I have a ZZ female im juicing up right now, pumping her up and getting the red saturation much higher, and brightening up the pearls big time. However she is getting darker and showing stress bars, either she's not used to her home or she might be getting in the mood to breed, i've been juicing her up and giving her shrimp as a treat haha.
