First Hybrid

[James B.]

I got my first hybrid today, a Flowerhorn/blood parrot.
Very excited to watch him/her grow. I can't find any info on them in terms of adult size, best tank setup(decor,size etc.) however so I was hopeing someone here may know something about them.
Also how big are they befor they start to really colour up? Mine is just about 2 inch, with at least 4 different colours in splotches all over with faint hints of pattern on the sides but nothing definitive yet.
Any info will help greatly,

Thanks James

If it's just a straight looking line with no pearling it may be a normal BP. I've had a couple like that which turned bright orange. Hopefully you got a mix. Do you have any pix??

I don't have any pics yet but will get some up as soon as I get to town for some new batterys.
I'm not sure what you mean by pearling but the patren looks alot like the one's I'v seen on baby flowerhorns,
It looks alot like this one I found in someones post but with more the orange base colour and not as sharp colouring to the pattren (very few sparkels).
Will get a pic up soon.
