LOOKING TO BUY FIRST FLOWERHORN, ANY SUGGESTIONS

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Blue Dragon and Red Dragon is both different
ZZ = Zhen Zhu (Clarify it for you)
Blue Dragon is common but it is still rare around these days to find. Red dragon is the most common flowerhorn and Chinese people love Red Dragon for Gamble good luck or fortune to home. There is other flowerhorns with different colors and varieties of mix kamfa. Good luck trying to find one. oh haha - pick one not too many unless you can separate them at 2 inch or else good luck with taking care the dead ones.
 
there was one dominate blue dragon but it was sold and it was beautiful and didnt seem that agressive to the others is there anyway to breed the two types, get a purple dragon lol
 
IMO is better to pay more for a nice bigger specimen that way you know what you are getting. If you want to raise a juvie make sure it's from a reputable source .
 
Let me clarify this out here. First of all, no Blue Dragon is not a made up name and it is an actual strong flowerhorn strain/breed. They are common a few years ago, but try finding a true Blue Dragon now. If you manage to find a true Blue Dragon now a days, it will be like finding a an Indo Kamalau or true Indo ZZ for that matter of fact.
Most of these "monster koks" Super Red Dragon or just Red Dragon, their fore fathers are Blue Dragon. Blue Dragon was the first to bring them into their full water koks. As many aren't a fan of Blue Dragon due to their less vibrant colors compare to Red Dragon, Blue Dragon was bred into Red Dragons to pass on that water kok genes itself. Don't get me wrong here, Blue Dragons has more than just blue to them, they have yellow and other varieties of color v.s. Red Dragons which is mainly a base of red and white/tan color. But it's all in a preference only.
So the best thing to do is, buy a few of each and grow them out. From there on you'll know which one you liked better. :)
