around near me, FL's run about 10-30 bucks depending on where i go. which is a reasonable price for them. they have great color and none of them look diseased.

Are you serious? That seems a little militant. I am curious as to want constitutes a "good" Flowerhorn under your standards.
LFS around me have 2" FH for about $10 - $20 all day long. No these are not the award winning ones in Asia, but I would hardly call them "fish food" quality.
I am certainly not going to argue the genetic pedigrees of FH because I don't keep them at this time. But I will say that it is a bit ridiculous to say that a certain fish should die just because of its lack of certain qualities. A dollar amount shouldn't justify keeping a fish. If a person likes a $2 fish, it doesn't matter if higher quality fish of the same species generally cost hundreds more. I can understand culling fish because of health issues or some other serious problems, but throwing away a fish just because it may not grow to be the best example of its kind or becuase of its low price tag is just foolish and arrogant. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Someones $500 fish could be plain hideous to the next person.Travis921;4892784;4892784 said:
paying 300 dollars for a fish in general is a rip off.I could understand if a flowerhorn was uncommon in stores in general and only able to find on the internet.Overall,I have called 2 fish stores in my state,that carries flowerhorns,so they are not that rare it seems,as sellers make it out to be over the internet.
FH not only have on internet, fish store owned by Asian and located in big city usually have good imported FH !burzumaske20;4893868; said:
I have a 4 inch flowerhorn that will not even allow me to float a bag in his tank. I tried to acclimate snails in his tank, and he grabbed the bag and shook it like a dog.. it ripped a huge hole in the bag.
He has jumped out of the tank to get food, and ultimately landing his mouth on my fingers- drawing blood.
He tries to kill the fish through the glass that he can see across the other side of the room!
IMO, even attemping to put a FH in a tank is a baddddd idea...

mine is the same way will kill anything!!!!!!!forget about a tank mate he cant even satnd my hand when cleaning and bites repeatedly. Also anyone who thinks you need to spend $300 on a flowerhorn to get a beutiful "pet" fish is out of there friggin mind IMO.
