Sorry for the bad pic. He is really shy. Currently in quarantine. Can anyone ID this fh I got from petsmart? I'm thinking some sort of kamfa.
Flowerhorn ID
- Thread starter Tsn
- Start date
If you didnt buy it as a specific strain then it doesnt have one. If it even mattered to you what bloodline it is then you would have got a named strain to begin with...
Ok so i get it's not possible to identify the exact strain of the fish without knowing where it came from. Which goes for any hybrid correct? But there is ways to generally identify the type of flowerhorn by characteristics of the fish. Right? Also is it wrong to want to get an idea and opinions of the type of fish I had bought?
Not quite right. A named strain used to mean the fish had a pedigree and the same phenotype within the strain. These farm bred petsmart fish could be anything because they dont care about the quality or keeping a standard.
Buying a chain store fh with no pedigree and then asking strangers on the internet to identify that unknown pedigree is useless. It looks kamfa, it looks zz, these names mean nothing nowadays. Do you really need to know? Buy your fhs from fh people if you want something with a name.
The person just asked for people to take a shot at a ID for his new fish that they are probably excited about, not your opinion on why YOU think his fish isn't worthy of a ID.
