Yeah, I tossed her into see how the Midas would react. I think he has a little more Red Devil than Midas in him but only time will tell.

If you are referring to me and if you had some brains you would know that I have been registered on MFK since March 2010. You on the other hand are a newer member since January 2011. Just cuz I dont post much doesnt mean I dont read threads. My main hobby is flowerhorn thus I'm on FHC more actively. I use MFK just like FHC for information and knowledge from those who have experience in large fish like for my Aro, Bichir, and soon RTC.
Before you choose to open your mouth or post something, you should do some homework cuz all your doing is making yourself look like a idiot.
Dragging it on??? You lashed out about FHC on here, so you initially dragged it on from FHC to MFK....so I just replied. Isn't this an open forum???
Don't get me wrong.....I have nothing against you personally, but what you say is contradicting from 1 site to another. Yes I agree partially on what you mean, but I think it is more regarding people going off the topic about your previous breeding attempt rather than your current. Regarding the mad scientist thing....it was not in anyway meant as a negative comment or anything of that sort. Meaning using a more exotic breed of flowerhorn rather than your ZZ female. You did ask what people thought and they just gave you their honest opinion. I would have said the same, to use a kamfa female or KML female, even a KKP rather than a ZZ female, but the hating began on FHC.
Nothing wrong with a ZZ female, but many traits such as finnage and stuff tend to come more from the mother, so we would suggest another strain over the ZZ female. At the end it will be up to you and what you want to do and what your happy with. I'm sure some fries will turn out well as not all of them turn out no matter what strain you use. But if both parents are of higher quality, then chances are better.
I truly hope you dont take this the wrong way. Like I said before PEACE!!! If I offended you in anyway, that was not my intent, I do apologize if i did though. I just did not agree with your statement regarding FHC. There are many great people on the site and a handful of bad apples, which you cant help as they are some in everywhere.
I don't mean to add more oil to the fire, but Vince you are at the wrong end here. I honestly saw nothing insulting about that guys post, and I'm pretty sure "mad scientist" wasn't supposed to come off as rude.
Moving on, Just breed your male with whatever female you want. Its your fish. I'm pretty sure other people would like to buy some fry from you if that pair were to breed. However, if you are big ballin like you say you are, buy a higher quality female and breed it with your male. Whatever you decide, Good luck, Keep us updated on whatever your decision is

"if you are big ballin like you say you are" haha I'm definately not big ballin but have been looking for a better female, I cant seem to find many females up for sale I know there are some on aquabid but not sure if I like any of them that are small enough..Are there other fish bidding sites?

Aquabid seems to be the only worth looking at.

yeah, and they also have a lot of scam, some people got a neon tetra when the delivery come ! paypal is the good choice when you buy from there ! also those fishes in your links are not worth half of the price they selling !Chrisplosion;4878912; said:

Thats true as well but I only posted links to reputable sellers. Dragon22 has a few females but from what I have heard I wouldn't do business with him.
#4 is awesome! Too bad I am broke college student who only buys Minnesota local. I wouldn't mind having a decent kk female. Maybe I will have to try and make one. Been in the game for a while now and still not sure what strain I like better zz or kamfa. they both have plus and minus attributes. The zz is so well developed and most are fertile but kamfas get crazy unpredictable in how they look! I wonder what the price difference is 5 years is going to be like? It's only uphill on the possibilities that we will start seeing in the states. From what I hear we are like a third world country in the flowerhorn game compared the east.

Finding an ideal female or quality female seems at time harder to find than a quality male. I am going through the same thing, much more based on where I live.
Like others said, Aquabid is an option but at times a bit tricky. Meaning scammers, false fish, recycled photos of fish, and at times just bad experiences. Some reputable sellers out there, but even with them things go wrong from time to time. The best is to request for more photos (different angles) of the fishes from seller on AB. Get as much info from other peers on their experiences with particular sellers. That way the chances are better.
Additionally nice females come with nice prices of near $300 and over. Lakefish had 2 kamfas not too long ago but the price was just more than what I was willing to pay to gamble with.
Like stated earlier, in the same situations as you so for now I am trying to breed my males (Kamfa, RML's, ZZ RD) with a KKP and/or SRS females hoping that I can produce my very own female to cross back to the father. This is where the mad scientist phrase will refer too. Trying my own experiment to try and produce my very own ideal female.....and seeing how the fry turn out. Also hoping 1 of my Mickamfa fry (now juvies) is a female as it looks like it.
For now you can breed your KML to the ZZ female to test his fertility if not done so already. Sell off the fry and use the $$ to purchase a higher quality female for future breeding projects. That is my third option if above doesnt work out.
Anyway, what ever you decide....GL.
