Fred the flowerhorn

First topic message reminder :

I managed to get a few good pics of Fred today and thought I would share them

I was holding the bloodworms with my fingers to get him still enough to get a decent pic of him. He only nipped me once and was quite careful of my fingers after that.

Can any one tell me if Fred is a boy or a girl?

Oops missed a cute one!

He has been slowly moving the rocks I have piled up by the divider, how... not sure but he is!

dang thats a nice looking flowerhorn

99% certain Fred is Fredricka.

Ok, any clue on Martha? Would a pic of her vent help? I'm horrible at venting fish!

i wish i could have 5 flowerhorn's in 1 tank

I have 2 in a split 55g, I don't trust them not to kill each other.

Nice FH!

Just found a baby pic of her

If you take a pic of the vents I can sex both of them!

There's a pic of Fred's vent on this thread somewhere.... I will try to get a pic of Martha's soon!

It looks like Fred is a male. I would like to see Martha's to compare, but from what I can see I'd say 90 percent that he's a he.

Pretty good info and pics here.

Theres a pic of Marthas vent up on her thread.

So Fred is up to a few pounds in weight now! Didn't weigh him but hes getting very heavy for a fish!

i saw adults for sale for over $100!!
beutiful fish fern.

He is in the $800 range I bet

Fred is roughly 9" and Martha is roughly 4.5"

Fred is definitely male.

Fred seems to be losing all of the black color and its going to a pearly white, eating fine acting fine just changing color..... yet again!

See;

And yes that's a whisper 30-60 filter.... ya big fish!

Well they both seem to really like June bugs!

and this is him eating.... food dropped right into his mouth!

Nice!

nice flowerline and pearls
