What do you think about my new FH, grade her!!!.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You need to vent the fish to be sure of sex, just because it had a hump doesn't mean its a male there are females with humps. It looks like a fader. If it is a female she would be good for breeding because of her hump. Thats usually what flowerhorn collectors look for. But you need to vent it to make sure. If you want to do it your self take the fish out hold it upside down and if the vent looks somewhat like this ( its a female, if its looks like this < its a male. Good luck!

Good points. I also think she's a fader!!!... Lets see if this weekend when I have more time I'll vent her although I dont think seller had lied to me tho.

Cheers
 
her tube is dropped in the pictures... i'm pretty sure that's a female...

Thanks mate, so as fsirico said she can be very good for breeding, due to her hump and bodyshape.... i think Im gonna swap my carpintis fpr a male FH and try to breed them.....I have seen some really outsanding male FH on sale down here.

Look again. I'm pretty sure its poop. First and second picture, nothing. Third and fourth pictures you can make out something blurry. Body shape and the facial structure screams male, but don't take my word for it. Lets see if it'll lay any eggs.
