[tommymacc]

Yes they get aggressive!! One of the most tough I've heard of although I can't say I've had one! They're are lotsa diff types of them.

YouTube flower horn and you will see some big and aggressive fish. I've never had one...

 

[twiddlemuffin]

I've watched on draw blood before. Mean little suckers.

Despite their aggression don't be deterred as long as you have the proper requirements for the fish they are wonderful fish from what I understand!

Thanks guys, the problem is the shop put him in my bag. I didn't buy him. My tank is communal so if he is a flower horn he'll have to go as he/she will my fish.

Not a flowerhorn...looks like a Texas, herichthys carpintis or cyanoguttatus.

Think it could be the cyanoguttatus, is that the scientific name?

Yes, herichthys cyanoguttatus
