Bassmaster360 Petco can have some gems just like the fish Op just showed us. That fish is dope. The fun of raising a petco flowerhorn. They are comparatively dirt cheap so if it doesn’t development the way you thought it would you can always rehome, look out for another. And it really is like taking a perceived ugly duckling (cheap petco fish) and it growing into an impressive and beautiful swan. It’s fun to experience, a bit of a gamble, but can be very rewarding and I would totally do it again and I’m aware of many high quality flowerhorn sources. Just have to have an eye for quality at a small size. My petco flowerhorn I had for a short time is linked below and I also believe
Magnus_Bane had a petco flowerhorn if he wants to share. I’m referring to the one in his profile picture.
my new petco flowerhorn growth progress thread
This is him a couple weeks after I got him. he is showing awesome personality just like most flowerhorn and great color. I think he is an SRD. Please let me know if you think different. I will update his growth over the next few months on this thread. Feel free to post your Petco/Petsmart...www.monsterfishkeepers.com
Well said. I have no proof to back it up, but the other jumper FH I had was actually the nicer of the two, really gorgeous and fearless at a tiny size. The fact these fish are growing kok so young makes me suspicious though, like maybe they're injected with hormones or something. Maybe I've just never had such h a specialized breed before though.
