Hey guys, been lurking for awhile just never posted much... Had FH's in the past then stopped after they all died... Can't seem to find any pics either.... Been in the Arowana game for awhile as I've been raising one for four years since he was about 3 inches... Recently added a clown knife to the tank...

Now for the new FH's, I bought one the day before new years... Then I recently bought one friday night... I would like to get some input on what you guys think.. I think one of female but it look like it may have some potential.. As for the new one, I can't seem to sex him yet, but he is more active and less shy then the older one.... Got him friday night and saturday night he was already eating from my hand... (i also added a pic of when I first got the older FH and how she is now)

Any input would be great guys

To me both looking like a female..... I might be wrong. But my guess..
 
The small or 3rd pic is a male, no black markings on the dorsal fin.

The 1st is probably a female since at the size, the head should pop out already.

The 2nd pic is a female, as you can see on the dorsal fins it has black markings.

But not all flowerhorns that has black markings on their dorsal fins is a female, mostly it will be female but sometimes can be a male. I seen a male with black markings before and the kok is massive, so males can have black markings on dorsal fins sometimes
