Hello, i was at the lfs the other day and i couldnt resist buying this small grade A flowerhorn i saw about 2.5 inches, he was marked as a red dragon but who really knows lol just wanted opinions on what type he is and what his potential could be, as in full length and kok size???

Fine fish for sure! A little shy of A grade. Would expect to see KOK fully colored on top
