I'm on old hat in fish keeping, but new to Chichlids other than my Oscars.
Was sold this today as a "Red Chilli Cichlid", and I'm assuming this is waaay false as I find nothing on a search of this that looks like this fish.

Just want to know the ID so I can give it the correct parameters. Cheers.

Here it is: (in with my snakehead feeders at the moment, at the time of this pic, it has just been acclimatized.)

YAY cheers Nelly!
How you doing there bud?
Haven't seen you around for a while
 
Iam good thanks......yourself, hows the channa's........be careful with the flowerhorn as they can get aggressive

Yeah think I will keep him alone.
Don't these things supposed to have great big foreheads or something?
Active little #29###. Is about 3" at the moment. What's the expected adult size?
 
Definitely a flowerhorn, and as nelly says it is definitely a Texas/Carpinte x something. Most are very territorial, so your decision to keep it alone is a wise one. He won't develop his kok until he is older. Not my cuppa tea, but good luck with him.
 
Yep its a flowerhorn though it looks like a normal ZZ to me (nice looking one though).
