I picked up this little ZZ today. I thought he was a decent looking fish when I saw him in the LFS. I got him home and acclimated him, and that's when I got the surprise. This beautiful red showed up all over...

He's not exactly making friends though, my tiny Texas absolutely hates him!!

great lookin fish, will grow up to be a beautiful specimen, if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for your flowerhorn?

Continue to post pics as he gets bigger!!
 
Nice Flowerhorn. I like the colors.

He was a whopping 5.99! :eek:

:D

I'll surely post more pics and keep you updated.
 
They got some nasty teeth.
 
How come flowerhorns are cheap when they are small, yet crazy expensive when they are over 8"? I saw two for sale at the lfs the other day, one was $300, one was $425 I believe. Thats CRAZY.
 
Sweet looking FH! Hope the other fish will think the same soon.
 
He seems to be settling in with the others quite nicely now. No one has any major damage.

He already knows when feeding time is. I hope this Hikari Bio-Gold fattens him up quickly. I want to see what he ends up looking like!
