This is my large male, Charles. There are two pictures. One is when I got him and he looked like crap. After a while of good care his pearls came out and now he looks pretty damn good. I thought he was a Zhen Zhu but his coloration seems too red and gold. You judge.
Shortly after I got him...About 4".  This is a recent photo. Now about 7" I think he has what some people have told me is a "Hard-KOK" And that is why his head isn't very big.  This is Edward my smaller male with more potential. I think he will get a pretty big KOK he is about 4" right now and already has a pretty good hump. I think he is a Zhen Zhu at first I thought he might be a Kampfa because of the double flowerline and the big head but I was told they have white eyes instead of red. That and I don't think he has enough pearling yet to tell. Or enough red. If that even matters. To be honest I don't really know what makes a Kampfa.    And of course my lil Matilda. She has really progressed as well. I am hoping that she develops some good color and pearling. She is about 3.5"   All of these fish were "Rescues" Charles came from a friend who was going to get rid of him because he was ugly. Edward was getting beat up in a fish store and I bought him for $15 as a "Jack Dempsey". And coincidentally Matilda was also a Jack Dempsey, this time at a PetSmart. I have a pair of 1"ers that have a lot of pearls and color and I think they have good potential. Either way I am long winded but please give me a chance and try to ID my fish. Thanks! |

Looks like you have got yourself some really nice FHs.
The first one sure has grown and its colors look great. Mine has a hard kok too but it seems to be growing. You will never know .gif){kind=avatar}

try raising your pH to 7.8 to 8.0
that might help him grow his head a bit more. You never know, these flowerhorns are weird. If the water isnt what they like, they dont show there true potentials. Pump them up. -------------------- To order Chingmix email sales@chingmixusa.com
