New female, let me know what you think.

[Camphilophus]

Exactly when! If its a bit of mild lip on lip lock not a biggy but when thrashing and scales are involved thats when I seperate too!

For the Frontosas, Pruess likes them and they sell for alot! Next time you have some PM me and Ill call them and see what they're worth.

All in all I would say great deal! The new female is spunky looking!

Preuss's prices are terrible but their fish are nice. I've got 3x 2.5" fronts right now, they're worth what I want to sell them for!

keep them separated until they are alot more mature... i just don't understand the reasoning behind ppl wanting to breed flowerhorns so small and young.

first thing usually especially since they are very close to same size. the female is more then likely gonna be the aggressor. what she wants to see out of a male that might be a potential mate is strength. this is why breeders like to have the male about 2times the size of the female when pairing and breeding. while flowerhorns are young like these 2 pictured above. inexperience can kill the best of them.

flowerhorns will fight until that connection or power struggle is worked out and the male HAS to be on top.

gl with the pair and i hope you get many eggs someday out of them.

I know the male is going to outgrow the female in no time. For now they can get used to each other.

i dont ALWAYS like the male on top. he has to be on the bottom sometimes.

and camph, i wish you good luck/. i think fry from this batch would look nice, but not as nice as the father. she is relatively low grade, but it will add great finnage to the line.

I'm liking the new female over the old one for her finnage. Where'd you pick up dollar fronts?

My old female is in a tank with 20 cryptoheros LOL. If I had her by herself she'd have streamers, my males should be back soon. I got the fronts at a auction.

I'm debating whether or not to put this female on craigslist.. After getting in all my new imports I'm not sure I want to breed her with anything. She will produce fry, but they won't be anything special.

here's a updated shot

here's the male (fins 90% healed)

the more I feed him the bigger his head gets, but I'd rather have it grow with age rather than me just fatten him up and shorten his lifespan. What do you guys think I should do with the female?

how much do u think you'll get for that female if u sell it?

I traded roughly $10 in fish for it. I think I could probably get $40 for her since she's laid eggs 2-3 times already and the people who post flowerhorns on the detroit craigslist ask way more ridiculous prices. I would probably let her got for $25 or $20 to the right person.

She looks better after a few weeks worth of omega one and NLS in her system but she still doesn't impress me. My girlfriend won't let me get rid of her now though. She actually likes her better than my male!
