Hi everyone,

My LFS is currently selling a high pearl kamfa labeled as a flowerhorn for $50 apiece. Does this type of flowerhorn develop a big hump on their heads? I'm a newbie, only four months into the hobby and I don't want to spend a big amount of money on a fish that will end up sick or dead because of my lack of experience. I currently have juvenile SA cichlids and they are doing fine. I just want to try my hands on a flowerhorn. By the way, the higher breed flowerhorns are going for $250-450 here. So here goes my questions:

1. Was this type of flowerhorn reasonably priced?
2. What's the difference between this and the high breed FW when it comes to size and appearance?
3. Are they hardy and easy to keep like oscars and GTs?
4. Can I keep it with my other SA cichlids in a properly sized tank?

Thank you. Your responses would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks, I'll do that.
 
Welcome and the price seems ok if indeed they are kamfa. Also I wouldnt plan on a community with Fh's, I seen it work but your chances are low !

Hope that was helpful !
