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. :)

Idk but I like it lol. :)
Thanks CLOWNKIFE! :)


uh oh, maybe i posted in the wrong place. :confused: ..... lol. hopefully a mod comes along and puts this in the correct spot. ...... Thanks. :)


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.

Ok great! ... and congratz on the B-Day. .... I will check out that site. thanks. :)
 
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. ;)
