i dont think i will, seen some threads and no reply. but hes in a 55 gallon and he/her about 3 inch
 
zz = zhen zhou

that looks really similar to mine, which is a red dragon zhen zhou flowerhorn.

i dont know its sex though looks quite young still.

also it looks quite stressed due to the stress bars on its body they only get them when stressed. How long has it been in the tank? Mine currently has bars like yours as it has internal parasites/worms, and flowerhorns are prone to have them, so i suggest you buy something to worm them before it takes to much of a hold like mine did which will probably die now.

55 gal is fine as long as its by itself, or the only cichlid at least.

apparently for the best colouration, you should not have a black background or black sand, as this may cause them to fade.

otherwise feed a good quality varied diet and regular water changes will see you grow up a nice little monster

hope this helps
