Philippine Zz - Meet Basher!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
As with alot of Filipino delicacies, it's an acquired taste. When I first saw Asian Aros, or even a silver aro, it looked "weird", but as time went on, you develop a taste for it. So it is the same with any fish. Some like "koi" or carp looking fish, some love datniodes looking fish. I am sure that flowerhorn was prized as any of your fish collection.

I couldn't say it is a nice looking fish because I know nothing about flowerhorns :) To me, the medium sized hump, vivid colors, pearls, and flowerline is good enough, without the aggresion.
 
Though the owner of this FH is a very close friend, I still consider an FH with balanced attributes (overall balance of features ) still looks better. I'm not to keen on having FHs with monstrous koks. And just to add my personal observation, most fish with big koks normally have thin bodies. Maybe their koks prevent them from eating well.....considering that most FH food are floating pellets, maybe their koks get in the way in visually locating their food.
