i got him about 3weeks ago from LFS for 25USD.. so at least he is one month old now.. do you think he has a potential? at what age should i expect a significant size of kok out of him? how do i know if it is actually a he or she? lol

i feed him mainly ghost shrimp, ocassionaly crickets for treats.. just today i tried centipede and he liked it too..20170104_031309.png
 
This flowerhorn looks like its a female because of the black mark on her dorsal fin. I believe this is a female too. Please stop feeding her crickets and other insects as this will make her eventually get sick and possibly die. Feed a quality pellet like hikari which is available at most pet stores or online. I personally like Hikari Bio Gold Plus as a great every day food, especially for females.

That one looks male to me and I don't see the blotch on dorsal fin
 
The flowerhorn in the first pic is a Female and second pic is a male(probably)...
