what is the main difference between a kamfa malau and a kamalau?
how do i recognise a kamalau and a kamfa malau?
 
This took me a whole 10 secs to find on google.
KAMFA :

Eyes : Equal with the cheek/gill, sunken, or protrude

Cheek/Gill : Thin not like zhen zhu or malau and bigger than zhen zhu

Lips : Thin and equal between upper and lower lips

Eyes color : Mostly are white but there's also a red eyes kamfa too.

Body Shape : Most of them are much better rather than zhen zhu specially from small.

Marking : Neither zhen zhu, ZZM, or kamfa it doesn't matter what makes the different only taste of the owner could be full one lines, flower, or double marking.

Pearls : Depends on the quality of the fish it self if classic kamfa then no pearls or less than 10% if good quality from type, fullness, color and shinning could make our saliva came out.

Fins and Tail : Today kamfa could have a weak finnage and tail not like the older generation.

Head : Can be water kok, sammy water kok, swan head or kokless

Color : Usually kamfa color is not better than zhen zhu but now days kamfa color could be much better than zhen zhu depends on the quality of the fish it self or the cross.


KAMALAU

Eyes : Mostly are sunken or equal with the cheek/gill but sumtimes there's a kamalau that have a protrude eyes too specially the old one.

Cheek/Gill : Chubby, thick, and big different with zhen zhu.

Lips : Well in tis part a bit hard to say but still their lips a bit thick but not too thick like zhen zhu or else I could say medium.

Eyes color : Mostly are red specially if already being feed by enhancer but sumtimes is not a guarantee that never being feed by enhancer the eyes color are not red but I also find they are eyes are orange when small.

Body Shape : Most of them are not good when they are small almost the same like zhen zhu but when they getting mature then there's a different.

Marking : Now days people like the non marking one but we can't say the one that have full marking is not kamalau since the in the past the 7x Champion is a double marking even is getting better when the fish getting mature.

Pearls : Depends on the quality of the fish it self if good quality from type, fullness, color and shinning could make our saliva came out but as for kamalau the pearls is a must specially now days kamalau.

Fins and Tail : Well I think most of them have a great finnage and tail too but not saying couldn't have a drop tail one.

Head : Can be water kok, sammy water kok, swan head or kokless

Color : Usually kamalau base color is much better than kamfa or zhen zhu and the favorite color for a kamalau is solid red, vibrant

that google strain description up there is not reliable and I think it's whack.

I just wanna help u ID your fish.. He's a ZZmalau.

ZZ underbite, flower line, structure and fins, with Kamalau pearls.

To b good at telling them apart you gotta hav experienc in looking at many many of them.. Just by Reading crap like above and not have experience will not help U :)

If it did you would not need to ask what fish you got

:chillpill: I can't stand flowerhorns and just posted something I found real quick on another site that I thought might help him out. I will leave the Id'ing to the pro whackers from now on as flowerhorns in general are wacked!:thumbsup:
 
Flowerhorn politics and name games are whack!



But some new pur breed keepers are now trying to copy the name game trend. NagnumX manumZ Magnum F whatever the hell. They ar just Umbees.. But yeah. The flower trend is now being copied and applied to pure fish too
