My 2 Red Dragon ZZ Flowerhorns

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
:D well i got 3 for £10 and gave 1 to my friend, so i suppose they were about £3.30 each which = about $5 US each :P

The importer that i got them from keeps teasing me with new fish now, hes just got in some golden monkeys, True Red Terror/Festaes and hes getting in some Super red Texas!

what would be good fish to breed these guys with anyway?

I got a load of Juvis of different species that would be compatible mates (Blood Parrots, Carpintis, Jack Dempsey, Firemouth, Convicts), or should i keep them as a pair, what would you guys do?
 
I'm gonna do a big water change and rearrange the tank later (gonna put lots of pebbles on the floor and take out the black gravel ready to put in some white silica sand), so will take a load and post them up :)

Will do a video as well to put on my YouTube channel :)

Wish i could use my coral sand i have left over from my old malawi set up, would look good, i expect it will buffer the watr to much for my Severums tho :S
 
I took the pics etc but can't get them on the PC yet because my card reader is broke :( but i have ordered another and should be here next week :)

Anyway....

On a much more exciting note...

They are definitely male and female...

I have about 200+ fertilized eggs on a rock in there own partition ;) :D :D
 
Its just the flash makes them look green, they are blue and red like normal ZZ's.

They are both stupidly vibrant now tho, breeding colours on these guys is fantastic :D especially the female.

Bought time i named the male, i'm thinking 'Rex', 'rex' and 'pop' :P
 
Its reflection from the pearls on a crappy camera phone, both are pearly as hell, they could even fade/peel/turn into somethign else, i just bought them from a importer who wasent interested in them as 'Red Flowerhorn Amphilophus Trimac x Vieja Syns'

So i just assume they are ZZ's, which i am more than happy with because i like ZZ's more than the other common flowerhorns anyway, they re less deformed and more like a prettier trimac.

Anytime you take a picture of a pearly fish with the flash on on basic cameras they tend to turn green, it happens with my texas and GT and used to happen with my Brasiliensis and Blue Acaras etc.

Bluey white pearls + yellowy white flash = greeny colour.
