OK your questions first then my comments heheh:

first and second pictures is a ZZ type flowerhorn and from what i can tell its a female but thats purely a guess...

The second one i would say is a kamfa of some sort but I am not sure. and the sex isnt apparent either due to the angle of fish.

Commets: Actually i kind of like the lower one only because the pearling and finnage is like that of a kamfa..however being that it doesnt have any worms on the face and body i think its just parrot blood..not sure however hump potential is later for the last fish compared to the the zz you have on the first 2 pictures.


Even though i have many fish that look like the ones you in your first two pictures I would stay away from ZZ in the future cause i am tired of them..
 
First one is a female ZZ, looks like she will lay in about a day or two. Her tube is down.

Second one......hmm....... I say female also. The type........hmm.... Some might say a low grade ZZ, but I personally think it's a parrot x FH, which= Kamfa. Look at its fins, it screams kamfa. Looks like it "might" fade too.

yeah i had been seeing little egg like things hanging from her and was really starting to wonder the sex and now you've confirmed my guess. no male... looks liek i need to do a partial ha thanks again for all your help!!!
