Lately I've been keeping catfish & bass but that got old and decided to try getting back into cichlids if not a flowerhorn . It's been tough to find the right fish.

Luckily that gave me enough time to get a new tank and cycle it. After a few months of searching I found a fish locally that caught my eye and knew he was the one.

A little back history I've been into the FH scene since 2005 and stepped away in 2012. So I have a fairly good knowledge of old and knew species and have always wanted a red eye kamfa.

When I walked into that LFS and seen this guy. Immediately put a deposit on him. Did a bit of research and went back a week later. It's been a tough few weeks of getting him acclimated but here he is in all his glory haha!

What a perfect box shape on this guy. Great fan tail too. Nice Kamfa for sure. Welcome back to Flowerhorn.

Thanks! Kind of a snob when it comes to cichlids.. The male needs to have that box shape. I can even tolerate no hump as long as he's body!

What's odd to me is the present day Kamfa. I always believed the GM or KML strains had the box body shape. Now the GM is gone, the KML is like a ZZ with a mad tapered body..

IMO, Dylon is Jackpot. Why was he in a LFS to begin with..

I'm already waist deep in the hobby, luckily this time my new wife is all about the fish so I'm a happy man!

Right on, he's a chubby lil boy and in my eyes that's one of the cutest qualities you can get!

He looks huge, how big is he? What price the store was selling it for?

Not including tail hes about 6-8". The LFS was asking 500. I buy a lot of fish there so I got a huge discount.
