This is Einstein! We got him over a year ago from a lfs. We've never known what kind of flowerhorn he is. All we know is that he has a HUGE KOK! Seriously, his hump is like the size of a baseball!

Anyway, can anyone ID him? Also, let us know what you think...

He is beautiful. I cant believe you have him in there with those other beasts. generally, FH's are a PITA in a group of bruisers. Great collection.

Thanks!

To be honest, Einstein had to learn some "manners" before he could be part of our community...He used to push the other fish around, even the pbass! But after spending the summer in the 3,000 gallon pool, he's chilled out enough to keep him in the community tank for the winter!
 
Lol looking good riding that pbass :D

Its a zz red dragon, great quality male.

Look'n good babe!

Love how he has learned to co-mingle with my other Monsters!! Just for the record too... This Flower horn has escaped death on several occasions...Mosley from me being a huge moron... Once him and another catfish got a seroius case of ich...I mean exploded in it... Thought they were goners for sure... So I snagged them both up and placed them in a hospital tank to treat them... I knew the normal treatments wouldn't work and there was really no time...So I poured bleach into their tank... (my disclaimer; I don't recommend this) anyway as you could imagine the fish had an immediate reaction and started to cough and gasp etc...Sure doom, right?? No... I let them sit in this for about 5 minutes, catfish went belly up, dead! This guy was freaking out swimming all crazy and gasping.. It was awful to watch, but it worked, I yanked him out and washed him down in clean water and dropped him back into another hospital tank with normal untreated water.. He came back around, ich was gone and before you knew it he was as good as new again...True story.. There's many more stories of this fish going belly up on the brink of death and somehow always pulls through - He's a Trooper this one!! :headbang2
 
Btw after reading MPs tank build thread a few days ago I was gonna ask for a few pics of the fh and here they are :D thanks for posting.
