I was curious of where I can get a Flowerhorn at least a male if possible,the only male I did find was a 8 inch that cost 89 dollars.Not 100% sure if that is a good price or not though?If anyone knows of a good website where I can find a flowerhorn,help would be appreciated by me or should I spend the 89 dollars on a 8 inch male flowerhorn?
 
I'm far from a FH expert. I don't own one nor do I know all of the names and breeds. But I see them here very cheap. like 3$-5$. They're probably the low grade ones. You will have better advice on the Flowerhorn/hybrid forum. There are plenty of expert FH keepers that can steer you in the right direction.
 
I am no expert, but do have a FH. He is an 11" Male. I got him in January 2010 at about 6". A LFS wanted $50, but I got him for $40. I can't tell you anything about his "grade," but I think he looks cool. Check out the link in my signature.

It would need to be one AWESOME fish for me to spend $89, but that is just me.

I would ask the mods to move this. You would get more/better responses in the Flowerhorn section.
 
its pure red flowerhorn that is why its 89 dollars,but I do like yours as well,i am not too picky with color at all,I like the personalities of what I seen in videos so far.

So its full body red? Does it have a kok (head hump)?

wow,for small flowerhorns being 75 dollars,I am better off spending 90 dollars on a 8 inch flowerhorn then or have pet supplies plus order me a medium size 3 inch flowerhorn for 14 dollars.

Well you pay for quality. If your fine with what you saw at the local store then go for it because ultimately its your decision.

Yes it does,its fully red with the head hump.Very gorgeous fish,I was trying to get the fish store,to put a deposit down for me over the phone,but they refused to do it.Even I told them I am from illinois and wont beable to make it there until Saturday.So apparently they only hold onto it the day you call to come there.
 
I am willing to pay the 89 dollars on a gorgeous fully red flowerhorn,then just a plain color fh that is 75 dollars ya know?I think if you spend that sort of money on a top notch fish,then yes that price is good,but if its just a normal FH,then the price is too high.
