been watching them closely over the week ive had them and if anything he chases her,the guy told me he had them with parrots and he got the scaring fighting with them also i tested the ph of his water that i got the fish in and it was ph 5 so dont think that would have done them any favours.
he does look alot better since i got him but dont think he will ever get his colour back but i dont care hes still an awsome fish in my eyes.

The pH of the water is 5?! Serious? This may not be good...time to put some crush coral sand in there or dead coral. Either this fish is seriously beat up, or it is a low quality Blue ZZ.
 
WAS 5 that was his water not mine i would never let my water get like that this guy just wanted them gone and hadnt bothered with them for a long time they are both lucky to be alive imo and he is covered in scars down both his sides but im keeping a close eye on them just to make sure its not the female beating him up
 
Yes, keep us updated. I love before and after pics.
 
Great looking flowerhorns Greg. That male will get his colours back when he's not stressed. The same happened to Laura's flowerhorn when her v. regani was giving it a hard time.
 
Add some red and white gravel or plants. That will bring out their colors the best, along with a colorful background
