Worth every penny. People will often ask about the price and grade of a fish before they buy it. Heres my take on that: I look at the kok, shape, fins, and color as the first criteria when buying a flowerhorn. If any of these attributes are not strong looking I am not buying the fish. The next thing I look for is how the fish reacts to my presence and if he or she will eat from my hand. If he/she is scared or swims away from me repeatedly, or isnt eagerly ripping the food from my fingers, I will not buy the flowerhorn. I am one of many who is also on a budget and can not just spend any amount on a fish.
People will often ask "Is this fish worth this price?" Thats a very subjective question. One fish might be perfect for one person and not for another. One person would be totally ok with spending $200.00 on a fish and another person would never spend that on the same fish. My one buddy only buys Kamfas and King Kamfas and I have watched him spend $550.00 plus shipping on one KK. I would NEVER spend even half that on a fish, but if you ask him if its worth it? He will tell you it is, because he loves the features of the fish, its much more one of a kind. He loves pearls and huge kok on his fish and is ok paying high price tags to get exactly what he wants in his flowerhorn. And trust me his fish have pearls that look almost holographic with teal and blue color morphs, they are so beautiful. If you love the fish and you can afford it then whats stopping you? This little SRD has only been with me for a week and I cant get enough of looking at him, training him, and grooming him.
