Just want to show you my new addition FH fry I pick up from a LFS back in October at 1". Let me know what you guys think of him and if anyone know what type of strain he is. I assume he is a ZZ but then the inset eyes on him threw me off. Thanks in advance. Sorry about the blurriness of the pics.

First bought at 1"

He is already beautiful and will only become better with age. Keep feeding him a healthy and diversified diet to help him grow and develop properly. This guy will grow into a FH with very nice kok and pearl.
 
Thank you for all your comments. I took a gamble picking him up at 8.99 and I am very happy of how he turned out so far. I am looking forward to see how he will look as he ages and definitely a keeper. I hope the pattern on his head stay like that cause that is one factor I like on any flowerhorn. XO humpy head, hikari excel and hikari gold pellets is what I have been feeding him twice a day with frozen bloodworms once a week. Will that be sufficient for his growth development? Also, 50% weekly water changes. He will be moving to a divided 110gal. soon. Sorry about the delay reply. I thought I was banned cause I wasn't able to log-in all last week and gave up logging in until today.
 
Adding the fader brother/sister pics. What do you guys think of it? It's the fish to the left of the very first picture when I bought them together. RIP to second fader (middle) who got suck up the inlet tube to the HOB filter. Sorry about the stain water spots.
