Planning to buy a flowerhorn

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had the other brother on my contact list but he wasn't on there much longer after I questioned him about srd instead of kamfa. I even got 2nd and 3rd opinions to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

What is other brothers names, I bought mine from Suriyun Umtungpong. Is even one of them honest? ?
 
Ruturaj Ruturaj i hope yours isn’t too different either. At first I thought that there was no way the fish looked that good but with video evidence I thought he’d look just as good in person.

Ozzie73 Ozzie73 it definitely was a “I told you so” situation. You live and you learn though

He's the galaxy gene guy I believe. I was told about him manipulating pics ahead of time as he was posting some insane looking female kamfa. His brother has the same first name, possibly without the 'n' at the end. He handles the tornado line. I'll have to turn over some stones to try finding. It's been over a year back. Some profile pics you think they use the same pics, some are totally different. I may have seen something recent. One minute they're posting all over the place, then they disappear for a while, than back again. For the record though, I have talked to people that have gotten some very nice fish through them also. If I had been shopping for an srd I would have been tickled pink....lol

I think a lot of their fish get posted on www.thaifh.com ....some of the pics on there may look familiar.

I wish I am one of the people who get nice fish from them.

Yep. Some fish are from him on thaifh.com, he told me the site belongs to one of his customer.
 
I shop for ingredients when it comes to breeders. The pearls were definitely there, which is what I was after. Just the color wasn't. I guess it could have been if I knew what lighting they used. I missed your question earlier, the srd female got sick and the kamfa female got through the divider to the males side, actually the murderer opened the door for her. That one took me a minute to figure out. All I know is at the end of the day, trying to breed kamfa has been my ultimate fail and a real thorn in my side....lol

Yep, I saw the color scam from tpaquarist17 tpaquarist17 's thread. So my focus was on body shape and pearls (and flowerline which is part of color but I think that wasn't faked, may be not as much).

Sorry to hear about those fish. I never tried to breed. I bought trimac once thinking it was female flowerhorn. And once bought a fader hoping it was female, ended up giving it to a friend. Never ever kept both fish in same tank.
 
Ruturaj Ruturaj as of right now mine has a pretty decent flowerline and a nice spread of pearls. He’s just lacking color but I’m going to make him as comfortable as possible and feed him quality food. He may turn out nice one day, he’s still a bit timid and he’s not very interactive

Very wise...breeding flowerhorn can turn a fish room upside down..hahahaha...At least mine did because I was clueless when I started. I still got through it with minimal losses (mostly culls) and the little monsters going to good homes. I'm actually taking a break from it and regrouping. I have a few pair that are divided in tanks but not going out of my way to get them a jumpstart. I want to be more prepared for the next round.

I too think he will turn out better than he is currently. Pearls are very good on him. I am not sure about the golden yellow color will be as good as in pictures.
