Need an ID and what sex.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
This fish was found labeled "Flowerhorn" at a lfs. The peeling/fading is very recent. What do you think this fish is worth? I know it's hard to place value on a fish, but I'm curious to know. He/she is VERY aggressive and about 12". What would you pay for it?
 
cause not all flowerhorn are expensive. color is fairly dull, kinda looks sick due to the in cave stomach look. finage does look fine, non-existent kok showing (but it could pop out, i just dunno at 12inches). overall not a quality show fish for me. nor a great breeder. this is what i see, and this is my opinion since you asked for it.

Thank you. I appreciate your honesty and time. I know not all flowerhorns are expensive, but I just didn't know if his temperment size and condition would increase value, but now I have my answer. The only thing negative I have to say about your comment is I assure you that this fish is NOT sick by any means. It must just be the pictures. His stomach is fine also, he eats like a pig! Haha. What would you call this beast as far as a type? Rose queen etc etc?

it does look either RM-ish or RQ-ish.
Haha. Cool. Thanks again. I'm gonna be sure to be very careful when calling this fish a RM or RQ. I think I will just stick to calling it a fade fish.
