On the first page you sounded surprised when you lost your oscar. In 10 years of fish keeping you should have learned not to mix africans and americans. I'm just saying...
Not to side with anyone, but I am not seeing any trolling around here. I would have to agree with Cam that it isn't a good idea regardless how big your fish tank is. It can even be 10,000's of gallons, very good chance of a bad result with Americans and Africans when they manage to decide to hold certain area as new territory. Not to be rude, but you'll experience something like that when the time comes for those Americans and Africans.
And there is no need for anyone to get out of the hybrid section, Cam has been a long time person on the hybrid section to be honest here. Also a great help on this hybrid section. Even like identifying your fish for you...Cam deserves lots of respect if you were to ask me about it.
Overall, back to the topic and I would like to see less of this action in this kind of site. We as the hobbyist, are all in it together you know.
THe one in the first pictures looks like a high quality zz rd. Reminds me of the beast in my avatar pic. He looked very much like that one when it was very small. Hang on to that one, and if you want to get rid of it just let me know!!!! The other is a fader probably zz but only time will tell! Very nice fish!
They look pretty sweet to me! Wish I had somewhere to pick up flowerhorns out here! I have found them at 1 store twice and they had 1 at a time! Nice though at least!
