Reason there are so many ugly flowerhorns is because irresponsible breeders sell them. Ugly flowerhorns should be culled IDC what anyone thinks.

I know but even the good ones look freaky imo.

Anyway sorry for derailing this post. Let's see some pics finally.
 
Have kept a few of the first batch gave heaps away I have some super sized ones they r monster they look like red devil but they have the convict strips and r red & blue also have a 2nd batch they look heaps better more pure these fish r very aggressive I'm glad I got them out when they were fry b4 the sleepy cod ate them pics will come soon!!
 
I don't have a problem with hybrids, per se, and if my fish x-breed I might keep a few fry just to see what the result is . . .

but the obvious danger here is that if hybrids get into the fish trade, it may screw things for people who want to breed pure-bloods . . .

LFSs are notorious for mis-identifying fish as it is, and if they find themselves getting mixes, they may sell them as pure fish . . . and that's not really fair to the hobby
 
Yeh all extras went to mates pet stores would not buy they hated the idea of the cross's I accidently bred I have 2 in my main tank and about 8 from the 2nd batch which will stay with me I'm not really one for distributing cross breeds or even keepin them (bout 30 went the sleppy) but curiosity got the better of me and they r a cool fish both the parents were seperated and givin away to different ppl cause they bred worse than mice pics up in one week have a look see wot all of you think I am pretty sure the red devil was a female & convict was a male but really didn't have devil long enough to know
