Is this true about male flowerhorn?

[PufferFreak88]

Is it true that male flowerhorn are sterile just like the same concept with the male blood parrot?

no, some are sterile though, but i would have to say, most are fertile

 

[FishingOut]

Depends on the flowerhorn in question. Most ZZ will be fertile. Kamfa being less fertile and white eye kamfa being mostly sterile. The newer strains along with faders i would say are about 50/50 sterile.

What about the golds?

Depends on the fish itself everything is different. Kamfa males are low on the fertility list compared to a zhen zhou which is more likely to be fertile. The key is to know your fish before you buy them.

Try and breed it. If its shootin' blanks then its sterile but if you get fry then its fertile.

The seller should know, if he tried to breed it. If your looking to breed it, look for a proven male. always ask for pictures also
