Planning to buy a flowerhorn

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just my two pence worth but I wouldn't recommend buying and FH without meeting him or her first in person. That is an absolutely awesome looking FH but my and my FH share a very healthy friendship. I couldn't imagine keeping one without a "connection" as such


My comment was more about the long term enjoyment of keeping an FH. It may be pearly but if it spends the next 10 years staring into a corner in what is essentially a large box of water for a solo fish the ownership won't be a good one. I'd rather say hello before I buy/import any solo FH, regardless of pearly dots or grading.

This guy caught my eye. Still available on EA imports for 100. Also a lot of cheaper options though from 25 to 50 dollars on some good quality fish.

My point is that if I was going to by a flowerhorn anytime soon or ever it would definitely be from here and I would pick up on the left over crazy Black Friday sales that are still there because they are disappearing

Yep, I understand that. I had low quality fish once but very active then I got a better looking one but less active. I think right now I would take a chance and if I don't like the fish later then I will just sell it.

Thanks. Shipping is 45 extra. Still pretty good fish. I am looking for more colorful fish (including flowerline) and pearly head, like the one I shared.

ECW ECW thoughts?
They all look like very nice and high quality kamfa’s. It’s a personal choice and style. First one shows the most kok potential. Third one has a nice golden base, pearling, and nice body shape. But for me I kinda like #2 out of the three. Strong fins, big tail, strong flower line, color is very nice.
