i was wondering if any cichlid that mix with each other(hybrid) are they all called flowerhorn??
for example a red devil and a texas is that called a flowerhorn or a red texas or someother name?:screwy:
 
Naming is ridiculous in this hobby. I prefer the long name detailing exactly what is in the mix. There is a lot of dispute over how to name flowerhorns, and some of the names make no sense to me.
 
i wonder of you can get a pink convict (female) with a firemouth(male)
would that be considered a flowerhorn? I just dont understand the def. because there are to many people calling any hybrid a flowerhorn
 
pink convict and firemouth might be a albino firemouth w/stripes
 
i think it is supposed to be a cichlasoma based fish but I really don't think there are rules.

i see people calling parrot hybrids flowerhorns so I duno.

wait for a pro to answer this one.
 
forget about my whole albino firemouth some explain to me that it wouldnt create pink frys or white frys whatever,they told me it woul look like a normal convict/firemouth..

on another note.thanks for at least attempting to answer my question poop
 
just breed a con and a firemouth and then silicone glue a water baloon to its head.

tada! flowerhorn

ill give you all the credit for that one too.

LOL:ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: Good one i like that one:ROFL:
 
I think you would have better luck if you use a male pink convict and a female fm to get the pink genes i have notice when you do it to pink con to black con the male is more likely to though its color
