Just curious if any of you have ever seen a white flowerhorn? Today I stopped by the LFS and they had a lot of new fish. They were selling a white colored flowerhorn with black markings. It was also strange because it had huge teeth for it's size of only 3.5-4". Extremely aggressive too because it would flare it's gills and ram the tank whenever I got near it.

I purchased my red devil/texas FH from them in the past, but the Japanese salesman could not speak very good english when I asked what type this white one was. I am contemplating on buying it tomorrow..just wanted to see your guys input. oh yeah, my red flowerhorn is about the same size as that white one but doesnt have any visible teeth.

no do you? i am really interested in the fish, but cant get any information becuz i dont speak or understand japanese. But this fish was bad ass....seriously it's teeth were like a dovii. The other red flowerhorns next to his tank were calm and didnt bang the tank or have teeth. But that little white bastard is a monster. The price was kind of iffy tho...45.00 approximately when converted from yen.

If you want proper inputs, got take pictures of it. But If you like it, buy it. I dont think it's a FH.
Sounds like a midas or a texas hybrid.

nah its a FH, the japanese worker told me it was an FH, but he couldnt explain what kind in good enough english. Doesnt look anything like the fish posted below. Imagine a white fish with black stripes, dovii type teeth and thats what it looked like. I think im gonna shell out the cash tomorrow for it...but I dont know what the heck am I going to do with my current 3" dovii and 3.5" RD/Texas FH.

This one is soo much cooler in terms of aggressive behaviour then my current fat bastard FH.
