If you use a trimac, you get the "dime a dozen" - If you want something truly unique, use something different.
But you can be as creative as you want - the trick is to getting a compatible pair, and then another compatible pair, as you back-cross, etc.

make sure the kok gene is there though. breeding large kok into ur own fh is hard. trust me i tried. its easier when u start with a fh and bred it to somthing else.
i went midas to trimac. and then thoose babys to a reddevil male. then back to the grandmother trimac<thn she passed away
>. then i broke down and added a flowerhorn zz into the fish breeding. i got a higher percentage of better fish and kok as soon as i added a real flowerhorn into the line.
im gowing some nice kp x texas that i might add into it also.
texas are nice for pearls. but hard to get good kok genes
king kong parrots have sweet fading genes/ shortbody/ warped tail/ and monkey face genes
midas and redevil are good for fading/ water kok/ and hard kok
trimac are boring in my opion and should only be used as a base for pearls/flower/ and norm body
syns have great genes and make good rbks but lack kok and are real late bloomers not showing potential until 6 inches sometimes.
all my nicer batches were flowerhorn x flowerhorn. there is a reason why flowerhorns look nicer now the n 6 years ago , the hobby has come along way with selective breeding so trying to make ur own is like taking steps back, i recomend buying a flowerhorn and mixing it to a pure fish. this could lead to more pretty fish and ur own fh to! ethier way good luck, have fun and show pics!

How come a lyonsi never comes up in FH breeding? To me they are perfect starter fish. They have very vivid patterns, red eyes, red fins, pearling, and nice body forms like zz's. I want one so bad... can't find one around here lately. Some of them can be a little dull... guess the trick is finding a nice one to start with.
