Please ID my Flowerhorn!

[andrewsin]

Hi all,

Reluctantly got my hands on this flowerhorn about 2 months ago, a very very nice piece with big head development already at 3" , so hard to come across these in UK.

Excuse the pics, right now im about to go crazy because over 300 pictures just got wiped of my nikon camera! So these pics are the only ones left until i take some more! The pics are not very clear.

But if someone can please ID my flowerhorn!

Thanks

A close up side shot would be of more help.. but I'm gonna say ZZ.

My memory card got wiped out...i still cant get over it, had pictures of it everyweek as a progress.

Well heres a quick pic of it, not the best ive seen him but its good enough to ID. Normally shows more neon blue.

Thanks

Looks to be a possible ZZmalau.. Is that a RTG behind it?

 

[andrewsin]

I think somone told me before this is a kamfamalau, but just wanted to make sure on the forum. Yes that is the High back RTG good spot haha

 

[andrewsin]

Would anyone else be able to ID this?

ZZMalua for sure. Really short body, but hes super nice. He grew up well.

Can be a ZZmalau, can also be a Kamfamalau. The only sure way to know is the parenting. Other wise, you just call it as you see it. Overall, very nice short body flowerhorn. I like it, pump him up and keep us updated!
