I wonder what these will look like

Nice...good luck with those, I bet they will be some fine looking fish.

I have my fingers crossed

I wonder if they would make some type of red tex. some of the midas x flowerhorns siblings faded so I know she has the fade gene and since the males genes are stronger they most likely will have his shape... I dunno in about a month we'll see

Wonderful looking specimens. The fry will turn out good. But i doubt if there would be any kok.

i disagree the father of the "devilhorn" was pretty beastly so those genes are there too. I will cull the fry and see what happens

Update: A little over a year later I have 3 of these left 2 males and 1 female. Not that large imo mabey around 4"-6" I think since dad was approx. 8" and mom was around 6" together they wouldn't think they would produce large fry. The largest male looks as if its starting to fade around the gills and smaller male has a reddish color to him from time to time. the female is ready to lay but i haven't put her with any thing yet she has the best pearling of them all

Newer pic of mom (she is almost 100% faded now)


Largest male (a little stressed because i had to catch him)

That female is very nice looking. I like that one a lot. Nice work.

I like the last 2 that female will be a nice breeder

Im working on it she is full of eggs she is housed in a 225 w/ a male synspilum male being the largest fish in there. She flits with him alot but so far he isnt interested.
