Picked up this cute little guy at the LFS for a good price. He/she was billed as a Dempsey Flowerhorn mix. Normally I not a fan of the mixes but he was stressed and needed some TLC. Personally to me it looks like a BP JD mix from his balloon body. Any thoughts what he might grow to be?


In a 45gal with a congo tetra, larger angle, and a few hatchet left over from a larger school.

I see blood parrot shape there as well - but I've never seen what a juvi flowerhorn would look like...

He is a cute little bugger - much cuter than a normal blood parrot (they don't appeal to me at all).

Sorry if ressurecting old posts is a bad thing here. Any updates as to him now ? He sure looks like a blood parrot \ flowerhorn mix, the 2-3 large black spots on his side look very much like a juvenile bp, the rest of his markings look like a flowerhorn.
