Hello!
So I posted a couple weeks ago about a flowerhorn that I picked up off Craigslist for $20 that had ich and now that he's ich free I'd like to get a little info on him! I really wish I would have taken photos of him when I first picked him up, because it looks like two completely different fish! This guy ended up looking great so I actually sold my other FH to free up space for him. Any info on him would be awesome!

Thanks!

*Dont mind the horrible algae outbreak

 
$20. wow. you are lucky. He is really nice
 
Yeah, when I went to pick him up I honestly thought he was a female, drab color with a small kok. Once I stared treatment for ich, his kok popped and the red came in really quickly. That was probably the best $20 I've ever spent on a fish :)

I also got him into his new home last night, and he's loving all the space! I had him in a 29 gal bio cube tank that I use for qt, so he really didn't have much room to swim. Below is a pic of him in the 55, which is pretty barren atm but I'm going to run to my LFS in a day or two and get him some new driftwood and fake plants to hide in.

I would love to see more pics of that fish for sure and dude that is one nice flowerhorn for 20 dollars anyone would pick him up unless they were blind. Lol I wish mine looked like him. I'm gonna check craigslist for sure!!!

I'll need to get my camera out and see if I can get some good pics of him, my phone just can't focus on a fast moving target. Thanks for the compliments!
 
The FH fish store sell ones like that for $160.. I bought one that I liked best.

You came up on this bad boy for $20 .
