new FH owner!WOOT

[señor_pescados_felices]

Here is the FH I was telling you guys about for $10.He is still adapting and showing his bars so I will take pictures later when he has calmed down.He is already a glass biter though.He has pearls (i think there called pearls?) all over his body and looked much better in the store even.

I filled up my 75 to see if It held water but apparently I had rushed my silicone job,so for now he is living in a 30g QT tank.

What do you guys think?

We have had some great Flowerhorns at the store recently, they have been flying out of the store.

ncie pick up!

Yeah sorry for the poor photos quality but my camera is a pile and me photography skills arent great either.In order to get better pics I will have to go gather some lamps from around the house,LOL.

What should I put in with it for deco?It likes that cave/log I didnt know what else.I was going to toss in a handfull of substrate for it to play around with but I all I have spare right now is crushed coral and some mixed color substrate ....

maybe some stones or something?

Here we go this is the best I can do.Look at it color up!!
Its "flower marks" or whatever they are called are bordered in a bright metallic green,I took a pic with the flash on to give you an idea of how metallic we are talking here.

Also his pelvic fins and anal fins (I think i got those right) are a pale baby blue thats getting brighter (can you guys see it?),Is this a rarity at all?Ive not seen it developing in other FH's while searching for info on them.

I tossed in a handful of substrate for it to push around and sure enough he pushed it all up into a pile in the corner like I saw Delgado's FH doing in a pic he showed.

Anyway I know the pics arent the best but I am somwhat under the impression that this FH isnt such a low grade after all (maybe "mid-grade"?),and I feel I pretty much scored for $10.Am I wrong?

PS:I dont know if I mentioned but its about 3.5-4",and I kinda think it might be a boy but I'm no expert.

Looks like a nice female you got for $10 you say? Good deal you got then

 

[TheMightyOscar]

nice little FH!

 

[señor_pescados_felices]

Heck yeah $10.He said it was because the power went out and alot of fish bit the dust and the survivors he is selling for cheap because,well,because their survivors I guess...I dunno.......

So you guys are pretty sure its a girl then?I was thinking maybe a boy because it almost looks like its starting to get a hump on its dome but now that I look again I suppose sometimes females have a little one two,eh?

Anyhow I would like to get a male for her how do I go about doing that?Do I ask my lfs to order a male FH specificly?Will a 75 gallon be okay for them or should I just stick with one till I can get them a bigger tank?
