Got this little guy about a month ago at my local lfs for 5 bucks. Not sure on ID they didn't say. Any ideas. I just hope he gets half as pretty as some of them I have seen on here!

Took quite a few pics, he wouldn't sit still...lol So there are more in second post. Thanks for looking and any ideas of id.

Could you post a pic of yours here, please. Maybe it will give me some idea what he will grow up to look like.... Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated!

Looks just like mine. He is a Red Dragon. Mine is 8 months old and starting to color up nicely. He is approx 4" long.

Nice fish, Cichcrazy and Nicky 11!!! Very nice! I have high hopes for my little guy! Do the females not get the hump on the head??? Thanks for your comments. And thanks for sharing your pics. I can't get enough of looking at peoples pics on here. Some of them are pretty Amazing! If you get a chance look for my thread about my midas, Knothead! Up til I got this flowerhorn, he has been my favorite fish of all that I have had. He is humongous!! Again......Thanks so much!

Nicky11....you are right, mine does look amazingly like yours!
