these two flowerhorn live in my 120 gallon community cichlid aquarium. luckly, the 8 inch mayan keeps the 5 1/2 inch female FH occupied and she constantly bullies the little FH (4 1/2 inches), and all the mbuna/CA cichlids seem to get along for now... eventually i want to use the female for breeding, but that'll be a while... tell me what you think of them!
Her left side
her right side (notice the spots near the dorsal... only on one side)
the little guy... calm (i think he's a male, but too young to tell)
he's getting angry!
ok, he's mad now...
btw, both of these fish are in really small tanks to prepare them for an expo in april at flamingo gardens... the 17th and 18th. do either of these fish have potential as they grow? i would really like to see the little guy color up more... also, they're fins will grow out more since they are now seperated from the other fish, and are getting daily water changes. i'll post more in a week or so.

... does anyone happen to know what strain the female is though? i've tried research, but there seem to be too many varieties that look to similar to tell what type she is... thanks!
