New Flowerhorn, ID Please?

[mikiel]

Picked this little guy up today. Told he was a red dragon, do you think that is the case?

His/Her markings were really dull after acclimation.

They quickly started returning.

Within an hour they were almost back to how they looked at the store.

I am brand new to these guys. What exactly does Fader mean?

they morph into a golden FH.

Im not saying it is because it isnt right now, but it looks like those kind.

Yeah they call your fish ZZ Flowerhorn

It is about 2" right now. I fed it about 15 minutes after acclimation and he/she ate a lot. Ate last night and again this morning as well. Seems healthy.
