Just a pictoral update of my hybrids, minus my male and fem. kml's and fem. fader rd. They are in a hospital tank being treated for internal parasites.

The parrot is an adult female and very fertile, I just don't have any male fh's that can hang with her yet. She gets mean when her egg tube drops!
The guy with the lump head is my favorite fish. He was about an inch and a half long when I bought him for $6. He is a hog and very assertive. Possibly the best $6 I've spent!
The little one is a fader that caght my eye and came home with me for $2 or so because the clerk thought it was a firemouth! I can't wait to see this one in a few months!
The other yellow fader is a female that I think has some potential. She isn't timid which I like so we'll see.
The dull guy was sold to me as a "Monkeyface" fh from Preuss in Lansing. A little disappointed in the lack of color but this is by far my most active and aggressive fh.
The last one is a fader I picked up from Fantastic Fins and is slowly getting color and pearls. He doesn't have alot of potential kok or colorwise but makes up for it with personality!

I will post pics of my other three this week.
P.s. Please leave feedback for me i.e. potential on the faders. All comments welcome!

That female parrot is nice let me know if you want to get rid of her I think my male kamalau and her would make some nice babies. The second fish is awesome I can't believe you got him locally for $6. You have a good eye. The $2 fader is also amazing and I can't believe you found that locally either especially for $2 that thing's going to be amazing when full grown. I love faders. The last 3 are nice specimens but they don't have much potential to be masterpieces imo. I'd like to see a update on your kamalau's when they're healthy. I have 3 that are awesome and 2 that I'm going to get rid of soon.

Why can't the male flowerhorn breed with her? Is she that aggressive?

Yeah. She's really aggressive. She is a bitt bigger than any of my males also.

Thanks for all the comments.

I think the flowerhorn would still me more of a threat. Have you tried putting the male in with the female? If you rearrange her tank with her out of it and then introduce both of them at the same time she might calm down a bit and let themselves get better acquainted. Its a good thing shes bigger.
