Use to own a true festae pair myself, and I see them available from time to time at my LFS also. I know a guy who owns a LFS that can order just about any SA/CA or African Cichlids. You name it, he'll get them in within a month.
I think most reason why LFS shop doesn't carry female because they aren't much in demand, and higher quality females are harder to obtain than high quality males. And as you know, low quality females flowerhorn doesn't sell as well. Not just only females, but males as well. So quality and demand is the number one factor to why they don't carry females as often IMO. :D
 
i wish cuz all FH are females here.... unless you want to spend 200$ USD on a mid grade zz red dragon about 4-5 inches......
 
Methyltestosterone. Plus all the good ladies are used for breeding projects so they can be rare and expensive unless you grow them from fry.
 
it pretty much comes down to males being in more demand. pretty much all masterpiece standards are centered around male FH anatomy. (except free head competitions etc.) any female that would be kept from a growout group would most likely at some point been thought a male. then when she turns out to be a AAA female they usually go pretty fast.(in order to make masterpieces you need masterpiece mommy:nilly:)
 
if you want a female, one of the way is buy some fry! in a group of FH fry, the smaller and long body is more likely to be a female ! I use that all the time and easy to get females !
