thanks cruiser, I think that ones fine but we will see tonight if he eats or not. If not I have a ton of live sagittae fry he probably won't mind snacking down on.
Last one looks like a Kamfamalau, a male. He's your nicest fish, I'd say. I like him even better than your other pearly guy. The kamfa looks real nice for being so small. I think you'll be pleased with him. The biggest one looks like a modern ZZ, maybe a lower grade ZZ Malau that didn't get as much pearling. It looks like the some of the fry from a local breeder's batch of ZZML x Red Dragon, so that's why I guess that. Could turn out real nice. Keep an eye on him. I don't remember if you said, but is he eating?
neither of the ones from cooler are eating yet. Neither like pellets and I've tried almost 10 kinds. I fed them both 20-30 small cichlid fry just to get some food in their bellies but that's all they've eaten so far. I'm not worried though, it's only been 12 or so hours. Any suggestions on what to feed them? I have some frozen stuff I will try tomorrow. I also tried to feed the larger one a few snails but he didn't eat them.
I am really pleased with the one you believe to be a kamfamalau. I think it's my nicest flowerhorn for sure. Even if it never gets a huge KOK I am still going to be amazed by it. I can already tell that the little kamfa is going to be one of my favorite fish to raise too, he never stops moving. Too bad he looks like a jack dempsey right now LOL. The larger fish from cooler darkened up a little bit and looks much better. If only I could get him to eat and get some of his KOK back.

Only been eating sagittae fry. I really don't want to feed them a bunch of my fry but if I have to then I will. I'm about to go try some frozen stuff, wish me luck..

It might have been then but not now, ask ccooler if you really want to know. It looks like a tank maybe just used for photographs or possibly a specimen container?
I put him in one of those when I was acclimating him and he looked like that LOL.
UPDATE.. I did see the smaller 1 eat 1 omega one pellet but that was it. I think it will eat when it gets hungry. Tried to feed them both all kinds of stuff but they didn't want to eat it. I'm definitely treating the larger one for parasites/worms soon. I'm not sure if that's the problem but it hasn't eaten anything but some fry so far. Anybody know what to do with it? I bumped the temperature up but it should have been fine at 78-79*. I think tomorrow I will run to the LFS and by some horribly overpriced frozen foods to try to feed him. He won't eat new life spectrum, omega one, hikari, various kensfish.com foods, hai-feng, or any of the other foods I've tried. Pretty much running out of options.
