As per my standard, poor picture quality. Well I have fry again:D I think I'll seperate the pair after boards are over so they can get a break. Anyone want some let me know. The last shot is another free grow out I've been working on. I have a nice green tex I need a mate for.

When they are older I'll give them away. Yes davenport/Bettendorf area. I mainly feed NLS. I also supplement with krill, redworms, and flake. Thanks! The male has lost alot of color after breeding twice. I have him seperated to give the female a rest.

Awesome you live in davenport/bettendorf perhaps leclaire dewitt who knows now I'm just guessing! I will gladly take a fry or two off of your hands! Awesome to hear about their breeding, how large are the parents, and do you have pictures of them? Awesome to hear of FH breeder in this area! Do you go on the flowerhornusa forums? I know of another guy named Mike that lives around leclaire that has some REALLY HQ flowerhorns that he is planning on breeding! Really cool guy! Anyways I'd love to hear back from you you can PM me if you will! I'm working on finishing up setup of my 75 gallon so I can attempt breeding my flowerhorns myself!

The female is pure trimac. Her parents are from Rapps. When last I saw her mom she was 10" plus. Dad was over a foot. The male was free so I have never seen his parents. PM me in 2 months or so when they have some size. As you can see they are quite small.

Yeah. Too bad most won't make it. I do have 2-3 fry already twice the size of the others. I may get a nice male or two.
let me know when you think their big enough to ship and I'll take two off your hands

xEchOx, sounds like a plan. I'm trying to breed my female trimac to a large male carpintis I have. So far no luck. If that does not work out I have a another male Fh (blue) to breed her to.

If you want to ship some of those let me know. Help out a fellow michigander(I remember your thread where you said used to live in the UP or something like that)! Those are BAD ASS.

PM me in mid November. I want them to get some size. I have never shipped before so we can talk about it then. I am from the U.P., just going to school down here, once I graduate I'm going home to practice. I have plenty so far, but one or two are growing at double the rate of the others. I'll need to start seperating them sooner than I expected.

I'll know more in November about shipping and the like. No I have never grown any out yet. I do have two or three that are twice the size of their brethren. I'm hoping that I get one or two decent fish from the first two batches.

1st pic is a male Fh. The green barred fish is a female trimac laying eggs. The last Fh is an extra I'm working on. Post some pics of your fish so we can help sex them. The most reliable way is to vent the fish. I think one of my pics shows the females tube fully dropped (not clear).
