What type of Flowerhorn did I get?

[cebosound]

Hello MFK community.

I just picked up this Flowerhorn today. I was hoping someone here can help me identify the type (or mixed types).

Here is a couple still images and a very short vid. These were taken minutes after placing her in my the tank. Looks to be quite a bit of metalic (or pearling). Maybe Short Bodied? I am relatively green when it comes to FHs. ... So i appreciate any suggestions.

For you to be posting it here, it must be the non-hybrid kind! Oh, wait: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?253-Flowerhorn-and-Other-Cichlid-Crosses

I just purchased one myself. It was a birtday gift for my wife. This will give you a place to start.

Some of the lines have unique characteristics like eye color and such.

No need to be rude about it man. You could of told him in a more kind manner; we all make mistakes.

& to Cebosound, what makes your flowerhorn unique and interesting is that yours doesn't have much of a flower line like they usually do.

This is the beggining phase of the tank. will be adding substrate and lighting soon. I want to keep this particular tank kind of bare though. I want the FH to be the star of the show and have the entire tank to swim. .... but things change, my ideas change. i will adapt.

trust me, no matter what do you with this tank, that FH will be the star of the show.

good luck on your aquascaping adventures though

very true. lol

and thank you. i will probably have some black gravel down and maybe a couple small peices of driftwood shortly. but who knows. .... aquascaping is like artwork; it's never truly finished.
