So I was going in to do a quick trip for some supplies and this flowerhorn was in a tank looking badly beat up. I asked how much for him, and they just gave him to me since I was a regular there and he was brought in by a customer who couldn't take care of him. Took him home to my available hospital tank and let him rest alone to give him the best chances. Couple weeks later...20160111_095300.jpg

Hes still healing but looking so much better. I've searched for hours and hours trying to possibly find out what kind he is.. I don't know too much about these fish. Never kept em, but knew I could help him out. Thanks for any info.

Is it fading? Looks like a fader but can just be beaten up as well. It's a ZZ mix with Kamfa. Kamfa body style with ZZ eyes
 
Great job, I like saving fish too, picked up a big oscar a few months back and cured his hith.
He Looks good quality too, you keeping him?
 
He basically had no color but some very pale blue.. I do not/did not know too much about these fish before rescuing him, but I knew from reading that a larger size cok and red eyes are a sign of quality..I think? Anyways.. I am not keeping him long term. When he is nursed back to health he will be going to a new home, which I haven't figured out yet. Just couldn't stand seeing a nice fish beat to crap knowing I had the means to help. The ID helps a lot. =)
