Type of flowerhorn?

[BJS_FISHERY]

Hey guys I'm new to the forums but I thought I would give it a shot. I picked up this flowerhorn at a LFS. I don't have extensive experience with flowerhorns and was just wondering if this one was large enough to sex or tell what species it is. I have been told it is a zz from a few instagram friends but I am unsure.

Thanks

Cool!

Flowerhorns dont have a species by the way. Theyre hybrids. Only way to know for sure is to contact the breeder.

It looks to me like it has some Synspilum, from the red throat. I would also say it seems to lack the overall Trimac coloring and spots, which could mean its not Trimac, or its being covered up by other qualities.

It has some color already, i would groq that out and give it some shrimp or krill to enhance the reds, it seems like it could be a pretty nice fish one day
