Well after going around seeing what fish stores had to offer in baby flowr horns i found one guy. I hop i made the right choice. He is about 1", must be low grade considering the price. hes very smal so i thought it would be best if he grew out a bit in 20l for a while. maybe to about 3-4" then to a 29g and so on until he reaches his final home. Hes currently acclimating so i wanted to let him settle in before i took pictures also wanted his colors to come back, he has red near his gills and red in his fins and tail. Dont know if that smuch indication on wha type he is. Im looking foward to raising him/her :) my little monster :):headbang2
 
ok after a 30min of sitting in front of the tank and cursing for the 20 bad pictures i managed to get 3 that were still crappy but u can alteast see the little guy.

Bars look like convict. Maybe a mix in there somewhere. I would have guess convict mutt if it wasn't for the color and plum line in the back there.
 
yea that should be nice... how much?
 
he's a bit stressed hes been through alot. and me moving around his new tank and tecor after he just got settled didnt help. i can see him now cruising along and the stirpes dont show as much and i just see color...lots of color. i dont know much about the kinds of flower horns or what makes a good one or bad one. I was hoping to get some info here. :) what would i expect this guy to turn into?
