This is awesome. I've been going back & forth about whether the box store FH will actually grow up to be anything. I really don't want to shell out hundreds on a fish either, so I'm excited to see that the cheaper ones are still lookers!
New petco flowerhorn.

FH prices have come down over the years, take a look at some of the Kamfa out there today.
I would say definitely keep an eye out and be picky. I probably passed on 100 fish before this one jumped out at me on one of my weekly trips to petco. Another issue for me is the utter lack of any sort of lfs in my area...closest fish shop is 40 miles.
Same here, everything local to me closed besides Petsmart/Petco
Same here, sometimes you have to break down & make a road trip to get the quality pieces. 
Tough going/slow progress on this fish. Three months back the loach/FH setup sprung a leak so i was forced to throw them in with the community. FH did not do well in there, developed some sort of infection, i suspect hex.
He's been in isolation for the last couple months, but has finally started eating pellets again and appears healthy at least.
Little growth since last update 4 months ago, maybe 1/2".

Hopefully so. Idk if hes having digestive trouble or just being finicky. He goes after every pellet i drop in, but chews a bit and then spits it back out. Does the same with bloodworms too. Im gonna try some nls thera A as he was eating that before he got sick.
Happy to report this little guy is doing much better. He's taken to eating fluval bug bites and omega one shrimp pellets with gusto lately. Fading to that gold color more and more.
