New flowerhorn id.

[Tilapia-mariae]

Got it off a friend for cheap, just wanted to ask if it was actually something other then a crappy b-grade flower.

Here goes for my shocking htc mobile camera quality, he has a gold base and has this strange almost spray painted blue on the top half of his body. His gill plate reminds me of my real nice male festae - the gold sheen. His red is only really around his gill plate and gills but is a nice solid dark red as opposed to some which look quite pale.

Here he is!

its a tilapia! or one of the classic strains, looks to be a male with a lot of attitude.

Tilapia do not have flowerlines buddy. Thats a ZZ flowerhorn all the way.

Tilapia would be my buttis! Shame about him, knew it wasnt anything very special, its his personality I like - yes he goes demonic at the sight of his reflection.

Yep

Do you guys think he'll color up on a mainly NLS diet? Would white crane do him any good either?

 

[Camphilophus]

He looks like a nice fish already, just not very amazing by flowerhorn standards. Food will only do so much. I wouldn't waste the money experimenting with expensive flowerhorn foods on this one though.

looks like a low grade trimac he ok though

white crane would help, but it will kill your fish. Stay awaw from that crap. Try puttinga mirror in front of him and watch what he does!!
