Welp, I guess I own a Red Dragon fh now

Hey guys!

My lfs has had this Red Dragon since he was about the size of a dime, he's about 3" now. Nobody has shown any Interest in him so in order to make room for a new shipment the owner told me that she'd drop him from $80 and sell him to me for $25. I couldn't really pass him up. He was so personable.

Any thoughts on him?

Sorry for the bad pics. He's in qt and pretty hyped to have a bigger tank. He won't sit still!

Thank you! I'm not particularly well versed when it comes to cichlids, let alone flowerhorns.

I think, he needs a name!
I'd call him Sir Finnington Flowerhorn if he were mine.

He's adorable! What size tank will he be in once out of qt?

Oh he definitely needs a name! Waiting to see a bit of his personality first

Qt is a 40 breeder but he'll go into a 55 for a bit. Once he hits about 6 or 7" he'll pop into a 90! Hoping he'll be real happy with all that room to himself!

That’s it?

Beautiful!! So exciting to when you raise them from lil ones. And, I'm sorry I didn't realize when the thread was started, lol. Does this fish have tank mates? I had one like this once. Right now I'm waiting to order some Trimacs.
