Very beautiful! i love your female!

this is gonna sound weird but we have this chain of general stores in the north east called The Country Junction Store, and they sell everything from movie statues to farm equipment, to food and they have a fish section too. and its always insane. they have sting ray tanks, and always at least...

imo looks like a male, sometimes males have big sperm tubes also but i notice they are more pointy. females are rounder, wider and more like a cylinder shape, plus females usually dont let theyre tube down too much unless egg laying in my experiences. another factor would be at that size you...

well i went out of town for 5 days and left my fish to fast, i usually let them fast everyonce in awhile anyways but when i returned his kok got even bigger! blew my mind that even w/o food for 5 days his head grew!

thankyou all, i have been home quite frequently latly during the day while running around so i feed him about every 6 hours about 8-10 pellets of hikari food. i buy hikari gold, staple, and red and i just switched to medium sized pellets about 10 days ago. everyday i usualy switch between the...

just got done working outside, and he looked nice and feisty today, 5 days later update, his growth has slowed a little, he still isnt three inches yet, you can see my hand for comparison in the pic. \

imo especially since they are hybrids intelligence varies greatly. the smartest fish i have owned was about 10 years ago, i had him for awhile too. he was a pure breed midas and was an old timer when i acquired him. i have had fh that are very similar in intelligence to him. i have had...

ive had 5 inch females rip apart 12inch males during breeding, sometimes it takes a while for them to be open to it.

2005-2009 when i used to breed flowerhorns pretty heavily i noticed that a mixture of the 3 diff hikari's gold/staple/and red would give off just as great colors and growth as the flowerhorn foods, and less pricey and no shipping. i noticed in your threads you have been heavily searching males...

i have had a tank empty for awhile now and i manage to get ahold of a pretty good quality red dragon fry so i deiced to see his potential. first pic is about 1.5 inches, last pick is almost 3inches. there is about 4-5 days in between each picture, this little guy is just sprouting up. im pretty...

parrot fish the hybrid are not sterile. most females are fertile and 99% of males are sterile. i have breed female parrots to flowerhorns before. there is still some fertile males out there also but ive never encountered one. the image you showed, that is how a regular parrot hybrid fish looks...

it usually passes as they get older however sometimes one can just be mean. as long as they are all growing evenin with each other there is no real harm they can do to each other. the best part is even if they do lose a limb it will grow back. <even tho i hope it dosnt happen; sometimes there...

just the way certain genes are. breeds like zz have a really high fertitly rate, where as breeds like kamfa males are usualy infertile. same thing with red texas's.

i wonder how much of this went on a couple years ago when people were buying fish from group buys that in pictures had amazing koks but once they arrived were not that special. a lot of people blamed the stress of the shipment and different water conditions then over seas but this makes me think...

where in pa do u score fish like that?! i live in stoudsburg, mechanicsburg is 2hrs away, but that aint a bad trip for a quality fish store <if there is one by you> and that fish is stunning! good job! keep us updated with pics!

i know~! after years of spending mucho cash on flowerhorns and after taking a 3 year hiatus from the hobby i see this guy in petsmart for 25 bucks. needless to say it bought me back in the hobby. it might be the highest grade fh ive owned. well maybe not better then my old kml <miss him still>...

well its been another 2-3months since my last update! he is about 6-7 months old now and is about 5 inches. i think his growth is gonna start slowing down bc of the sb genes. imo he'll prob only hit 8-9inches. if anyone has any clue as to what he is throw me some suggestions. i thought he was...

well i got this litte guy like 2 months ago! hes growing an inch a month < purchase date pic> he was still undergoing fading when i purchased him. pet store just sold it as an ordinary flowerhorn. boy did i score. now he is deep orange and the front half of him is blood red. at first i...

i can only guess due to his size and i think 2-3 months. he is only 2 inches.

well let me start this off by telling you why i took a long break. about 3 years ago, prob a little longer, a flash flood happened and my hobby room went under water. all of my fish died and i gave up the hobby for awhile. i had around 5 generations on fish going that i loved and most of the...
