There is a parrot at my local fish store, for sale $80 (3 inches across) Clearly a Hybrid
It looks like a sevrum and a texas cichlid. Or a jack dempsey and a sevrum. Cool looking fish though, i like it- might add it to my tank with JackDempseys,GreenTerrors and other parrots

Bonsai and Killin(AKA Kirin) are two different types.
-Bonsai is a FH with a very stubby short body.
-Killin is a PARROT with FH colors.
This one in particular is a Killin Parrot fish.

Yes true, but names are different. Since those combos will create various of different looking offsprings. The normal body FH will be called "kamfas". Hell in your theory, why not we call ALLLLLLLLLL FHs just Flowerhorns without any specific names? They are ALL hybrids, samething. Same name........Flowerhorn! You got a lot of learning to do bro.;)

i normally call them fhXbp. that one doesnt look like its worth $80, as it has fairly crappy patterns with no flowers. ive seen better for $20. used to have a super nice one i paid $50 for.
Could it be a faded killin?

:confused: I'm not sure why my knowledge was assessed.....You are incorrect....Common names fail, and with most hybrids, they do not get a scientific name, so it makes it harder...Since day one I have always known bonsais as FH x BP......Not sure how you come to the conclusion that just because I corrected you, all fh's should be called fh's...The pic you posted may well be called bonsai, but your personal comments toward me do nothing to prove your point...I am truly surprised you went that rout....

It looks like a pattern less kirin!
I have a few kirin and they are sweet. I much prefer these to the bonsai FH
They get pricey as they grow!

I really don't feel like wasting my time explainning everything in details when all you will do about it is thinking I am arguing with you and drama starts from there. I just don't like people giving advice that is INCORRECT and when I correct them, they all go nuts. All I am trying to do is give out the CORRECT info to the community, so people can learn the CORRECT information about FHs.
Check out FH forums (FHRUS,FHUSA,FHcraze), and you will learn and get lots of info you need or wondered about FHs:)
Ok let's just say that they are the same!!! You are right bro :D
Have a good one.

Why?

10-06-2008, 3:49 PM
Why?
because even if I do for the good cause, you will keep trying to prove me wrong even if you are 100% wrong and not end up listening to me. Why waste my time you know?;)
If you'd really like to know like I said.... go on FH forums and ask. You will get your answer.

Ohh so you know I left him out cause he actually knows what he is talking about?
What am I adding you ask? I am adding the fact that JP is right in classifying the difference between a bonsai and a kirin flowerhorn and you aren't.
