Im thinking about buying a flowerhorn for my new set up tank. I been looking up some i found a seller selling a 3inch red dragon for 120 is that a good price?
 
Red dragon are one of the oldest and most common breeds, you cannot make a decision without seeing the fish and preferably it's parents.

What is drawing you to hybrids? There are many fine pure breeds out there for a far cheaper price.

Just curious.
 
What size tank? Are you planning on a community tank? Generally, Flowerhorns are best kept alone in at least a 75. Some people are successful with keeping them in communities.

I know of a local Red Dragon for $120 as well. If it is the same one that you are talking about, I think it is a good price.

Flowerhorns are a great choice. Very aggressive and interactive with their owners and fun to watch grow.
 
Pics would definately help. Also, I would think about a growout tank before you throw a 3" fish in a 120. Maybe start at a 55 gallon. have you checked aquabid? Tons of choices on there. You could also try flowerhornsfrombeyond.com , they usually have some good choices.
 
If you saying 120peso , will its enough and very lowest price for a baby rd fh here in my country. I bougth my 2 fh for 200pesos each.
 
dont i hate mine with sooooo much i wish i was hartless enough to kill it but will not
