LAZER the FLOWERHORN

Lol got curious as to why it refused to breed with another female one day so I decided that I would take her out and vent her to figure out why my supposed male wasn't doing his job. Well I came to find out that he was in fact actually a she. Ofcourse her father also had a huge kok so guess it makes sense on why one of his daughters got it as well, granted she'll never have a kok as big as her father's (Jr.) tho. He's the FH in my profile pic.
Hmm now that would be a neat lil breeding project if ya can get that Jag and FH to breed. Seen some jaghorns before and they always looked real neat imo. Kind of gets the body/color pattern of the Jag mixed with the pearls and kok of the FH. Generally tho jaghorns are going to have almost no kok to a very small one, they won't grow out huge looks like FH's do.
OMG i didnt even know they could breed. I read that most flowerhorns are infertile so i didnt even think they could breed thats crazy lol oh my i really learn alot on this sight and am so thankful for it. And thank you Magnus_Bane for always giving me such good advice or even ur own opinions help me get things right at times thanks again.
lol well thats one way to figure it out lol you have a really pretty FH thats for sure it took me some time getting use to Lazer bc ive always seen such pretty ones but s/he is really pretty to me now at night s/he gets like this dark pink with grey and in the day shes like a redish color so awesome. Will she eventually get any sparkles as s/he gets bigger do u know?
@ Magnus_Bane
This is a photo of the jag {and actually i believe i was told on here he is not a jag my LFS was wrong is what i was told} I believe i was told he was a Cuban Cichlid;i still call him Jag bc it just stuck plus how he looks. I will post pics.His name is Velvet just bc of how he looks himself. Oh and he IS a MALE lol he bred with my Texas Cichlid unexpecctedly a few times until the last time he really messed her up shes getting better tho. Ill post pics of Velvet now.

Ik with your FH it really reminds me of my original breeder female, Big Bertha's mom. Here's a pic to show what I mean. Also cuban FH's are actually very popular in the FH community. They get the nice black and white colors from the cuban but they keep the body and build of a FH. Just got to be careful when buying a Cuban FH tho, allot of ppl will try to scan ya by selling ya a black kamfa under the same name. Black kamfas may look similar to Cuban FH's but they don't get that nice solid black and white color, it's more of a black-dark grey and the white is more of a light grey-blue. I wonder tho what a Fader Cuban FH would look like tho. No clue what the base color of that hybrid would be so no clue how one would look with the fader gene. Wonder if the base color would be red like the FH or if it would be more of the white color from the Cuban genes.
Yeah FH's can breed lol it's just like with BP's that the males tend to be most often infertile. The females don't tend to have that problem as much. But yes these hybrids can still hybridize even more. I've seen them hybridized with jags, cubans, red devil's, midas, convicts, BP's, red terror and so much more fish that I'm probably forgetting lol. As long as yours is fertile there's no telling what combo ya could end up with.
