Hey Guys new to the forum and wanted to post a pic of my new flowerhorn which I got today.
So he's about 2.5/3 inches at the moment and purchased as a red magma? Hopefully a male. Any opinions on that? Also how good quality would you say he was? I have him in a five foot at the moment with some tiny red terrors, 1 inch or less. They are growouts for another tank. Is that a good idea? Or should I remove them? Thanks

I would remove any other fish from the flowerhorn and I would give it more time on the gender. I initially thought male but the dorsal fin has a black mark which usually indicates female. I would also lower the amount of food your feeding your flowerhorn because he/she looks pretty overfed and bloated.

He literally just eaten some hikari gold pellets. I will take out the red terrors and transfer them to there eventual home tomorrow. Ohh i didn't notice the black, I hope not i really want a male :( alough the guy did say if it turns out to be a female then i could give him a call and we could sort something out.
