What makes a FH?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I don't know.. but I would drop thousands for this guy:

Edit: This picture is an obvious photoshop, but the fish itself doesn't show any indications of it being shopped.. just cut from a blue background and added to this background.

Thanks for the words of encouragement...

I don't get people like you who have to bring people down. You have no idea what stock I can and plan on bringing in, and you have no idea what the outcome will be.

The people who breed quality FH's now had to start somewhere now didn't they?

Yes, I get that this is not an overnight process. It takes many spawns, many trials, and many errors. I understand everything that is involved.

But the fact that you just "yeah, I highly doubt you will be creating a quality fh.."

How about keep your doubts to yourself. If you can't say something encouraging, then why say something at all?

It is VERY possible that over time and dedication I may create a decent, or even a quality FH. Anyone could, if they had the patience and know how.

There is no harm in trying.. no need to shoot me down over something that will be fun and rewarding just because the fish may not be up to your standards.
 
breeding a certain kind of fish can be challenging enough to get them to pair off. now with hybrids n fh you have to pair off and hope the male is fertile wich is hard as hell too. then growing out those fry and introducing them with other growouts from other hybrids youve made, another challenge... and so on.... dont get discouraged. its hard work but can be very rewarding. reading threads sometimes people make it sound like baking a cake. add 2 eggs, flower, vanilla, sugar, mix together and blamm! you get zz yy kamfalisciousnuchalcockorama. you have alot going for myou, first off is the drive and passion, second is tanks and equipment, 3rd your other half is supportive. keep us all posted and good luck!

Sorry but this is an open forum. I can say pretty much what I want to say. Also, I never said you couldn't, I just have high doubts lol. I mean, it wasn't insulting. LOL I would still like to see you try though, but I still doubt you can do it. I mean, if your attempts fail.. it will only bring more low quality Fh's. Great news. :D

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... what you think is low quality, may be something that someone loves. It's not like it's another puppy in the world.. It's a fish. It's not going to live in some shelter for the rest of it's life.. it will live in a fish tank, like it's intended.

It's not like I am just slapping fish together to make a new hybrid.. I'm actually putting all my ducks in a row before I start anything.
 
I have a male FH that I am growing out that I would like to try to use.

He is straight from Thailand.
