New Flowerhorn

[flowerhorny]

pretty new to the FH scene and this is the guy I'm taking on the journey ..he/she is about 2.5-3", very vibrant blue color, and is starting to develop a nuchal hump

I feed it Massivore Delite and frozen cichlid cubes (opinions?) ..appears very happy/healthy, eats out of my hand, finger chases etc

any ID and sex ideas? I know it's a ZZ, but a Blue Dragon? I know it has the jewels on the dorsal (which I've read is not a definite in determining sex), but it's got a decent hump forming and colors very bright

I'll update w/ growth pics

Nice FH
I am feeding my FH, Hikari Cichlid Gold, XO Starry and Humpy Head, Grand Sumo Red, and rarely homemade food.
My FH used to steal Hikari Canivour sinking pellet from my Bichir a lot (currently separated as my Bichir got pissed going aggressively towards the FH, I don't know how but FH lost )

I am not too sure what breed it is, unfortunately...

With the dot on the dorsal fin I will assume it is a female as well
