Purchased this at petsmart, they had it labeled as a "red texas" Its killed all the fish in the tank, except 1 blood parrot that its laid eggs with 3 times. It guards the eggs just trying to figure out if its male or female.

I'm assuming this is the petsmart fh's everyone is talking about.

I'm sorry to hear about your losses. I'm new to FH & I only bought (2) @ Petsmart labeled RT.
There where (3) in the tank when I got there, I picked the (2) I liked best. I tried keeping them together the first day, but that didn't work out. The larger one just kept picking on the smaller one (NONSTOP). So I had to add a divider, hope they get along as they grow a little bit more.
Here's a few pics of my babies & they look very similar to yours.

I'm sorry I can't help you sex your FH, but I'm sure someone else will chime in here soon.

we had him in the tank with a jack dempsey ( now in a seperate tank) and 2 bp's but he killed the one he/she wasnt breeding with. and the other got killed after there last attempt at breeding. I'm assuming the bp was infertile. I know its not a texas or red texas some type of fh, but id prefer to know the sex so i can try and find a mate for him.her

when there are eggs in the tank, he/she fans the eggs and wont leave the nest and gets aggressive towards anything and everything.
 
For your info, most males of Texas hybrids are infertile not Blood Parrot females. Your fish looks like a Texas hybrid, possible "green" Red Texas.
 
I agree with Chris. Milkmans fish just looks like a regular Texas(very nice looking fish IMHO).
Jill I have a female FH that used to look just like yours. She's now 5" long and FULL of attitude! Awesome fish!

That's Great...
I'm new to flowerhorns & have always wanted one. I hope my two come out nice. So which one of my FH's looks like yours MTBjake . The 1st pick of the bully or the second pic of the Red one?
I'd love to see some pics when you have a chance to post some of your female FH. :)
So do you think I have two females? I really want @ least one male.
