Parrot Horn "kirrin Parrot"

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think that bonsai/kirrin/ short body FH are quite sweet and the price depends on the quality and how rare they are in your area. Please do share pics with us, we all love pics :D

I would say go for it. I don't know how much they are or what country you are even in, but I wouldn't pay more that $40 US for those. I think they do have good potential and I personally think they look great. I almost bought one a while back but the douche who owned the store was selling them as Neon Unicorn Giraffe Fish for $60 at 1". And I returned a month later, none were sold and they looked worse and same size. One was missing an eye. Either way I would say go for it. The one in the pictures looks like it has a dorsal spot. Since they are essentially FH females still have the spot. Also I have heard they are like parrots in that the males are not fertile.
 
looks like an average kilin to me, these go for less then 10usd here in Hong Kong. Too bad you don't have many lfs whereever you're from, at least you can then compare quality and prices. Good luck with it.

Here is a pic of my first kilin, lost her when I was on holiday and there was a freak accident with the automatic feeder. She was about 5 inches.

Ur killin looks nice :) .. Give him/her time to settle in and the color will be much better. Determining the sex from a spot on the dorsal fish is not an accurate measure, the vent is the only way that a person can determine the sex of the flowerhorn/ killin... There is a sticky thread in this forum about flowerhorn info revised. have a look at it, since there is some useful info (P.S i do not recommend milking the parrot killin to determine the sex)
 
thanks for the kınd words guys!
HKG69 my gırlfrıend has famıly ın HK and she was goıng to get me one before for cheap=P
the parrots at the LFS had theır tubes out, ı almost pıcked a nıce female but thıs one ıs a male although he has the dorsal spot, thıs was the best one ın terms of sıze and behavıour, hopefully ı can take some better pıcs when he has settled ın more.
he eats ALOT and ıs very domınant so thats always good
ı paıd 36dram for ıt whıch ıs about 23 dollar
