So I stopped into a LFS the other day and was browsing around, saw this little guy in one of the tanks. I've always liked Flowerhorns and decided to pick him up, although a price wasn't marked on the tank. Went to one of the staff and said "I'd like that Flowerhorn in the corner tank please." They said they didn't have a Flowerhorn in that tank but they had a Jewel Cichlid.. Anyways, after a few minutes I left with my 14.99 "Jewel Cichlid" :headbang2

How'd I do? Not the best pics.

He's pretty washed out in these pics, I hope I have a male on my hands!

nice texas horn. Looks like a male
 
14 dollars for a jewel cichlid thats robbery!
 
Sorry It cut me off, Thats a great young FH, looks like a nice pearly one.

Don`t be discouraged when you see some of the insanely good looking bright FH on here, this is what my old FH looked like when I got him

I know, it's insane. I figured for this fish it was a fine price though.

For a FH with that much nice pearling its a steal. I've seen pearlless drab ones the same size go for 25+ here in Calgary.
Not saying they won't turn into beautiful fish like mine did up there, but with that nice pearling you already have I think you have some great potential on that fish. It might even fade. Didn't think mine would. Havent even seen another FH like mine since.

Well I'll keep the thread updated with what he turns into then!
