Don't forget we now how big suppliers calling random crossess stuff like "warrior" flowerhorn haha. Seagrest farms calling silks titanium flowerhorn. And they are 80% garbage.
Blue dragon?

Your talking about a thai silk.
A BD is a kamfa silk.

that's why U are a noob.
When the name "Blue Dragon" was around, there were no Silks existing.
Put that into logic.
I know hee haw about flowerhorns but this thread is cracking me up lol

I doubt I'll produce anything like the op's fish, it shows a level of line breeding that I am directly opposed to. It in fact carries many traits I don't personally like, but then again most fh do.So who cares? Obviously the OP, or he wouldn't have asked.
There's nothing wrong with people asking, or with using older traditional names when the fish fits the name. And Izzy, when you have a strain of fish that breeds true & looks like the OP's fish make sure to post pics.
I'm sort of unclear as to what made you think I said it wasn't ok for people to use (or apparently even ask about?) the traditional names? I thought I said I really didn't care what others called any given strain, unless it was MY strain... Sorry/not sorry, but I can't think it's a bad thing for other hobbyists to see some one NOT worrying one whit about 20 year old names that have needed MASSIVE revision almost since they were created. And even with revision they will never be very accurate, because as I stated in my previous post..."Two different breeders, using slightly different combinations of fish, could produce virtually identical offspring. But that doesn't mean those offspring are the same strain.." In my opinion that automatically makes any attempt at naming/classification impossible...unless EVERY single hybrid breeder keeps 100% accurate studbooks on every single strain...then after about 30-50 years of that, we can begin to make proper names and classifications. Again, the old names still make a good reference point, but that's all. And again this is just all my personal opinion, I certainly don't expect everyone to feel the same way.
That's all very interesting Izzy, unfortunately none of that is overly helpful to the OP, who previously stated;
Personally I have never been big on marketing names, or trade names used to describe hybrid FH, cichlids, or any other type of fish, either, but the OP wasn't asking about personal opinions on how different hybrid strains should be described, nor was anyone asking about YOUR strain? lol You previously stated:
Hopefully that clears that up.

....... which is partially why my response was worded in the manner that it was.
Hopefully that clears that up.
I think you may have taken that comment slightly out of context, and admittedly my phrasing wasn't very accurate...it was more the reason why I don't care. And perhaps a slight dig at all the sniping/disagreeing/possible misinformation in this thread...those things may also have not been very helpful to the op. it's all good, everyone derails a thread over personal beliefs in their own way...it's nothing personal, lol!
They don't look like the op's fish, but they do breed true. Fixing the sb trait only took 3 generations. I imagine it will be a similar time frame for each of the other traits I want....And Izzy, when you have a strain of fish that breeds true & looks like the OP's fish make sure to post pics.
