My new FH

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Very nice. More and more of these fish are catching my eye. Went to a buddies house that had one. Told me the story of his friend that owns a fish store.

5 years ago his friend had a pair of FH's and he was broke and couldnt buy food for the stores supply of fish. He told him to use the food that he was selling and he said he needs to sell it not use it. So long story short the female died and my buddy said he is taking the male. The FH was $125 and he walked out with it and said he ain't paying him s##t. It was laying on his side and practically dieing.
now it's 14" and is an awesome fish. It's all pink. And his name is Mr. Pink.
 
i think we have twin's (in the second pic) mine look's just like it here is a picDVC00468.JPGi like both of those fish nice find:headbang2

Thanks for the share and Happy Valentine day everyone btw wow did you GF have any sister hehehehe my wife never gave me any flowerhorn from the 1st time until we already have 2 beautiful kids...lol

The flowerhorn in the 1st pics have a great red color base and from this newbie eyes that fish looks like a female.

The flowerhorn in the 2nd pics have a great yellow base color and from this newbie eyes once again I think it's a male.

Hopefully, I'm not wrong brother and better asked your girl friend to have a romantic candle light dinner ASAP....hehehehe ;)!!Thanks and GBU

best regards,
jonz88 :)
:iagree:1st is female and 2nd is male.Mate em up!
 
what do i do to have em mate? right now they have a divider between them (egg crate) ... im affraid to remove the divider because the bigger FH has been alone in the tank for the longest time because he's just too aggressive.

the pleco is just there...doesn't seem to care about what's goin on around him lol they nip at the pleco sometimes but he just shrugs them off.

bigpup, they do look alike huh, but yours seem to have Kok potential. :) nice FH!

rumor has it and I have NOT done this but if you put a piece of slate so she can lay her eggs by the egg crate-he can fertilize them through the divider if theyre close enough.Or you can try like everyone else does and let them be together for a while and if he beats the hell outta her then seperate them.either way she usually gets beat up some by mouth locking and so will he.their mouths will heal up after theyre done.I know theres a dovii pair at an lfs by me and her mouth is always shredded but they dont kill each other.That can be different for you though.each fish is different.ya never know how they will interact until you let them both "play".If either one is getting beat up bad-throw the divider back in.thats also part of how they tell if the partner is "worthy" to mate with.they beat each other up for a while 1st.good luck
