Yep, looking like it. Nice fish! What is this fish exactly? The dorsal and anal fins may grow longer filaments if it is actually a male.

flowerhorn!

that guy is going to have a huge nuchal hump!
 
dosnt nuchal hump mean male?
 
thought so, least I am right about somsing.
 
Also... He's in a 90 gal by himself.. I know odds are i wont be able to mix him peacefully with any other fish in the future... by any idea of target fish for the time being? I was thinking maybe giant danios...tinfoil barbs perhaps.. any ideas let me know..
 
females also get the hump but its not as defined


flowerhorns are really concieted.. they wont like anyone in your tank.. unless you plant to get bottom feeders and give them a place to hide




hence why i asked about potential future target fish
