Bonzai Flowerhorns $30!

[oshp132]

This isn't my auction, but I seen it on aquabid, and thought someone here would like it....There seems to be a lot of flowerhorn lovers on this site, and I've seen similar fish like this for over $100!! Just thought I'd pass it on, seems like a good price.

I can go get a blood parrot and a flowerhorn for that price and make my own.

Goodluck with that. It's not quite that easy.

Yep, good quality FHs aren't that cheap and you'd have some trouble finding a fertile BP too.

Like I said, I thought it looked like a pretty fair price....It's not my auction. Go breed some fishlvr, put them on aquabid for $30, and I'll give you a free promotion...Until then, have fun with your bluegills.

That's Lauro, aka Amazing Betta, good seller on the Flowerhorn forums.. very good guy to deal with. And like rallysman said.. it's not that simple.. these "bonsai" took years of selective breeding to get a stable form like that.. a BP x Flowerhorn will give you a mixture of crap, w/ a few quality fry.

Yep, they're really ugly and mutated fish. But props for years of experiment to make it happen.

I saw one in a LFS for 1 inch at $12...anyway that guy selling it Aquabid is one of our members here.
