Hi,

This is my first thread in the Hybrid section. I have been keeping fish for more than 6 years now and learnt a lot through experience as well as from forums such like MFK.

Currently I have 2 silver arowanas of about 14-16 inches, a male and a female along with an armoured catfish in a 120 gallon tank. A kamfa flowerhorn which is 1.5 years old in a 55 gallon (I raised it since it was 40 days old). And recently that is 3 days ago I got a new baby flowerhorn, which I think is a golden trimac shortbody flowerhorn.

Currently I am feeding it pellets and really tiny pieces of market shrimps as many times as I can. Below you can see a couple of hazy pictures that I have managed to click.

I will be posting images every monday with my observations, just so that new flowerhorn keepers may refer to this thread incase of any doubts regarding flowerhorn raising.

Hope you guys enjoy the pics!!

Cheers!!

Saurav

Thanks for IDing. The LFS guy told me its a short body golden trimac. Anyway, I like the fish. It looks pretty. I got another one. I enjoy raising these fish to see them become prettier day after day. =)
 
Can you please tell me how did you classify it as a ZZ? I've little knowledge on how to classify FHs.
 
golden Trimac is a faded ZZ. This is a faded ZZ more advanced.

U know the low grade FHs that look just like Trimacs? Some crossed with an axanthic fish to have the fading gene so when the Trimac looking FH fades, it becomes a golden Trimac. If the low grade FH stays normal and green, it would look like a regular Trimac that always get folks confused.

If it fades then it's a golden trimac.

Golden trimac go a few years back but are the same todays fader ZZs. That's what they are. Just this is today, and golden trimac was back then. JK same thing. All blend into a Faded FH.

I can get a Trimac and X with a Midas/devil or axanthic fish, and the fish will come out and I pick the ones that look like all Trimacs and some of them might fade into golden.


So to answer the question, this is a tiny bit golden trimac and a bunch more. It is a faded FH to simplify it all.

But honestly, I think the Trimac look had been washed out of the gene. It's just a Faded golden FH now. :(
 
So this is how my flowerhorns look after a week now. They are eating well and are very active. One of them has turned black, but thats just the fading process so I'm not too worried.

Do let me know what you guys think.

Cheers!
