FINALLY - photos of Flowerhorn PLATINUMS

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
:D no need for an expert to identify if its a FH or not...the pics says it all :D
 
Okay put it this way these two very well could be a midas/ or Red Devil hybrid crossed with a FH. The fact is though when you breed a batch of FH fry. All the fry do not come out the same. Some come out looking like the mother others like the father. That is why when you are breeding Red Texas in your batch you will have some coming out looking like a parrot and some more with a Texas body. If yours are FH mixed and they very well could be. In fact I do think they are due to the one's stubbed face. The fact is unfortunately they came out looking more like a Red Devil more than a FH and that makes them low grade period any way you look at it. However if the fish owner is happy with the fish it does not matter! I have kept many low grade fish just due to a personality that I liked.

Now to address this quote--As for Platinum - aren't Platinum supposed to be a clean white, not pearly like yours? Correct me if I'm wrong...

ANSWER you are wrong and now have been corrected. Platinum FH have always had some pearl in the strain. How much depends on the breeding stock

Now OddBall to address your ? In a perfect pick of a Platinum FH the fish should have the shape or body of ZZ or JK flowerhorn, have good pearl, and have RED in it as well. Vanz's Platinum posted in this thread is an Excellent Platinum and has all good quality's that you are looking for in the strain with a bonus even of a large head (something that this strain is not known for) however the only thing it lacks is RED. So in a perfect world this fish would have red in it too and thus the intentions of the Platinum strain does not go against normal FH standards. I hope I helped?

you said it all bro,


the fries in this thread,maybe hybrid,but the are defly not fh,and not a bit related to a platnium fh....

the only posibility of this fries being fh is that they are a type of kamfa,the "snowfox kamfa" aka the "white apple"
 
Want to add one more thing here. The fact is these are hybrids. For those who say they are pure Midas or Red Devil here is why you are wrong. Midas and Red Devil DO NOT have red eyes. At best they are glodish yellow. The fish that displays the black or peel makings has Red eyes. The second fish has a round face and stubbed body Midas and Red Devil do not. I am surprised no one caught this already:ROFL:
 
Just curious where you learned all of this. It has been very informative.
Question: Almost every Midas/Red Devil has a black eye with an orange arc, or ring around it. Are you differentiating between the red and the orange?

As for my FH's eyes - the weird shaped one has blank black eyes, the other has black ringed by iridescent blue. Where is the red you are talking about? Am I going color blind here?

So, are you saying that these are the snowfox or white apple?

I'm going to look for photos of those now...

As for them being low quality - that never crossed my mind. I just wanted something radically different. Boy, did I ever!
 
Couldn't find photos of the white fox you mentioned... got any on you?
 
not saying they couldn't be a hybrid.But as to the red eye colour you must have super vision because I can only see a bit of red.Clearer pics would be good.Its funny everyone can afford heaps of money on there fish,tanks,filters and computers but never seem to be able to afford a camera.I looked through this gallery and there a quite a few RD"S and Midas with even reder eyes then seen here.Some are really red.I do understand that both strains have been intermixed with each other at times but I,m pretty sure there not all hybrids in this gallery.

This is my second request. I am very curious about the fish in your avatar... Whatzit?

And yeah, I see the red (or deep orange) in the eyes often, and as you said, in the photos, I don't see it either. In person, the eyes on the white one are a deep, solid black. The eyes on the white/black one are black, ringed by iridescent blue.

I'm still sticking to what information I was given - one parent being jingkang, and the other parent being a kamfa of some sort. In addition, in each particular batch of fry from those same parents, I am sure some look radically different - (throwbacks maybe???) such as these two?
