He looks much nicer now (these pix are a couple months old) and has a serious attitude:) I'm thinking about bringing him home, but I'm not sure what the going rate would be for this FH. He's about 8+" now. Thanks in advance!

$1.00 ;)
If that was the case he would already be in my tank;)

It looks like a nice female, I'd say probably in the $40 - $50 range IMO. I wouldn't pay more than that. She's pretty though. :)

I'll get some updated shots next time I go to the store. It's much nicer now and is a really serious glassbanger.

What is it worth to you? I would pay around $40-$50 depending on how crazy it is. I like them to be NUTTS.

This one is completely insane. He tries to attack ANYTHING near his tank. It's fun to watch:D

Thats what I like to hear. But then again, do want a single fish tank or will you risk it with some of your other bruisers?

That's another thing I'm taking into consideration. I would probably give him/her, his/her own tank. Another plus is that the woman likes it:)

looks like the fish has some rose queen in the mix i like it if it has colered up since this pic i would pay 50-75$ but based on current pic i say 40-50$ like everyone else.

I dunno but if you don't get it I might lol. I assumed it was gone you posted that forever ago. What store is it at :naughty:
That would look awesome though if you could grow it out and put it in your 265.

rallysman, that Flowerhorn is a JK (Jing Kang aka Golden FH) just if you wanted to know? That particular strain is not known for large kok though they can get it time to time. So at that age I would not go as far to say it is female yet. There is a very good chance it is male! It has nice gold already at the size and if the red darkens up the fish will be quite sweet. You should give it a shot. JK can be worth quite a bit. For that fish he is worth $50-$100 at that size and current looks. If you can hustle it for cheaper than more power to you;) JK are known to have an attitude as you are describing:D
Here is a couple pictures of my male JK when he was younger. He is much larger now I would take an updated pic but do not have my camera here right now. The first pic is what he looked like when I first got him pic suck but you get the idea
