Good/bad flowerhorn dealers

[PoopSmart]

i wanted to make a thread to show what sites are good flowerhorn suppliers and which ones are bad.

ayo breezie just made that thread about somethingsphishy.com being a poor supplier.

If you are proud of the flowerhorn supplier you got it from, shout it out, show us pics, etc.

Same goes for the crap suppliers.

thanks

Good thread. I'm interested to see how this turns out.

I think best "suppliers" are breeders usually.. and group buys are a good way.. flowerhornusa.com and flowerhornrus.com.. 2 very good forums that have group buys often.

Anyone have any info on good dealers in Florida. Any info on somethingphishy.com. I am new and looking to purchase fish from reputable dealer either here or abroad. Thanks

Do not buy flowerhorns from somethingsphisy.com.. if you're looking for some FH.. I think there a couple.. but do not purchase from Somethingsphisy.com.. best bet is to order 'em if you want quality. If you just wanna take a stab at flowerhorns, you can test a few from somethingsphishy, but I just hear his fish turn out to be just low quality FH.. or decent quality.. if you can handpick 'em, then that might be okay. But if they're around 3 - 4 inches you can kind'a see potential.. if they are smaller, you can't really tell.. but around 5 inches, they should be pretty colorful and have small(at least) hump already.. if not, they are most likely low quality.. Flowerhornusa.com and flowerhornrus.com, make yourself at home.

hey ayo how is that place aquaticwonderland.com or whatever in texas? they look like they have some nice ones.

and you can see the exact fish you get.

I would reccommend them.

Yeah, I just got my fish in from them yesterday.. awesome fish.. and David's a good guy.. he packs the fish real well.. shipping is very reasonable.. just a recommended seller if you want decent priced flowerhorns.. not really overpriced like other LFS.

group buys are sometimes good if your talking about budget wise.sometimes its bad cause you don't get to pick the fish you want.(per seller rules)...i'ved ordered fish from overseas and hell they packed my fish very good..there lots of good and bad sellers out there,basically read all the feed backs and asked lots of questions...

 

[ayobreezie]

Yeah, group buys are another.. group buys are the best way to get rare fish from overseas for cheap.

I am new to FH so I apologize if my questions seem silly. But I would like to know do different types of FH breed or do u have to get a male and female of the same type. Are male and female FH hard to get to pair up or are they pretty easy to pair up. At what age or size do FH start breeding. Do u need to get a larger female than the male?
