Short Bodied Flowerhorn?

It could be the fish itself also. Out of the ones I've bred and growing out. From the same batches, they range from 2" up to 6" on the regular bodies and 2" up to 5" in the bonsai. I pulled one bonsai runt and he is the pearliest little thing and he's maybe 2.5" with a 12" attitude.

Agree with the others, it's definitely a CA hybrid with some strong trimac genes. The blue spangling looks different than a typical FH to my eye as well, more like a GT. Interesting fish.

How much are you feeding?

This is being sold as a 3in short body sunburst flowerhorn. Is this what rhis fish actually is or is it something else?

It's a golden base fader bonsai flowerhorn. Sunburst is likely just a name someone tossed on the line.

Ok thanks. Will he keep the colors hes has now for the most part or will most of the red go away? And hes on live aquarias website for $90. Dpnt lnow if ypur familiar with live aquaria or not. Does he look of decent quality?

He has nice colors and pearling. With a good diet and water conditions he should be good as far as the red staying. It looks like he's got some potential for his head to pop some with some grooming. Do you have a link? I can't get the image to enlarge and cannot find it on the site.

I see him now. He's got a really nice two-tone going on and decent pearling. His face leaning more parrot, but it looks like there might be an issue where his pectoral fin meets the body. I have a tank full of gold base fader bonsai and none have anything resembling that. Sorry for the pic quality..it's all I have on the work computer.
