So.. Some guy in my city is selling this kamfa for $120.. It's 4" and has white eyes.. Probably the only decent kamfa in my city lol.. I'm still a bit discouraged from keeping Flowerhorns since they're so weak genetically and don't live that long.. Maybe some people can talk some sense into me :P

Locally that is a great price for that fish. They maybe genetically weaker but at least they are not high maintenance like Discus are. That is an excellent Kamfa, tail is so nice. Don't try to breed it and keep its tank clean will help it live longer.
 
Looks good. I would definitly look at it in person first.
 
look good! come and look at the fish first, see if it look like the pictures or something else!

Young Discus are high maintenance LOL, I'd rather keep Adult Discus.. and oh Chris.. If I had this Kamfa.. I'd try to breed it with anything I can.. and I used to do daily water changes for my ZZ's.. that didn't stop them from getting diseases like hex. Besides.. lets say this kamfa does live to say.. 3 years old.. A discus can live 8+. I recently sold all my Discus too lol.. so my tank is empty.. hmm
 
Good chance its not fertile, would be better to keep it as a show then to try to breed it. But its your choice, regardless I would pick it up. Discus don't have Amphilophus/Vieja personalities......
 
based on the picture provided, I would snatch him up asap! Plus you probably can lowball him a bit. I'd say $100 and he's yours.
 
I did low ball him a little and offered 100 for it.. However if I do choose to sell it.. it will be hard to sell this fish for even 80 bucks.. Seems like everyone in this city isn't into Flowerhorns anymore.

@Pho, I'm glad I don't live in Australia lol
