Its been a few years since i got out of tgis hobby for various reasons but im starting again with this flowerhorn. If u see my previous threads ive never kept these of their likes.

Previous owner says its 5 months old and 2.5inches (which is hard to believe) im going to drive 350 klmtrs to pick it up this saturday.

What do you think? ID please.

Don't take this the wrong way but the face looks a little deformed in the second pic

I haven't picked it up or paid for it yet, so all suggestions welcome.

I just think its a good hump at 5 months and it might grow bigger.
 
looks unhealthy to me and his face got more like a parrot fish lol im not sure if it is like tht or maybe some infection.. but yeahh, it's a good quality zhen zhou fh to me.. and for tht size kok at 2.5" it will surely go bigger .. at what price will u guys negotiate for him? but i dont think it's worth 350km away.. tht's far man.. wont sure tht the fish could make it back home..

Yep that's my worry the parrot like face. I negotiated a cheap price, 10$ yo be precise. But i don't really know if that's a cheap price for a FH in India. I just don't want to put a lot of time and effort in raising it only for it to grow up cack.

I might also pick up these babies, do they look quality to you?

$10 seems worth it to me if it's not 350km away lol

but these look healthy.. and looks like the same strain as tht $10 fh he offered... pick up the fries then.. buy a bunch and breed them :)
btw, it's funny though he puts bricks and broken tiles in his tank xD

They are from two different sellers.

About the bricks and broken tiles, this is India mate, we set up things to camouflage :D
