Flowerhorns

[nomicon]

Question; Why don't more people complain about Flowerhorns? Its just another man made morph cross. I see avid cichlid guys falling in love with them. I personally think they should be destroyed. Any comments?

Why do you think they should be destroyed? I think they should be thought of as an acceptable part of the hobby since they're not going away. Rather than bash, educate.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with them as long as they're bred/sold responsibly.

WOW that is the most thing i have heard in a while

Is the ACA allowing them as a legit cichlid?

That depends on your definition. They're having discussion about recognizing them, but they should never be judged in any ACA event IMO.

I guess they are being looked at the same way as Discus crosses? Ban me? LOL

No, from what I understand the debate between line bred fish and obvious hybrids is completely different. The discussion is about recognizing the flowerhorn.

Why did you mention a ban? Is that what you're looking for?

No the guy above you has the little "ban him" guys by his post. LOL

This thread will cause trouble. Perhaps that is why it was posted?

Cause trouble? Really? I thought it was a legit question worthy of discussion. Is there like a tong out there that will be offended? I'm new to this site and was just asking a question.
