Red Diamond aka Kamfamalau

[FishingOut]

There are thousands of breeders in southeast asia and trademarks on those fish have proven to be insane. Good breeders will create these brand names, then dozens will try to duplicate making labels impossible to keep track of.

The flowerhorns that win shows are the ones different from all the ones already in production because they are unique. I agree 100% with the statement "buy the fish, not the cert."
So call your fish a ZZKamfa, LowGrade Tan King, or Red Diamond. They all are the same thing when it comes down to it.

Or make up your own name like Crazy King Badass Flowerhorn.

LOL, not a bad idea.


So is the general consensus that this FH is a ZZ x Kamfa, and not a GM cross?

 

[FishingOut]

Its an Upsidedown Pineapple Cake Monkeyhorn, OF COURSE!

Oh GM is definitely there no doubt about it. Just not confirm with what and what to be exact. There is ZZ in it, Kamfa(possibility) and GM is definitely strong in the gene.

BTW - I wouldn't call this fish a low grade anything, Tan King or otherwise.

The fish shown below come from the original breeder of Tan King, Thanh Minh Ha in Vietnam. IMO they don't look anymore special than mine.

Thanks Big One, Fishing Out, and everyone else, greatly appreciate your input.

 

[Chrisplosion]

Agreed, yours is anything but low quality. Its a very good Flowerhorn.

 

[FishingOut]

Done get my wrong, I was just baseing that off Big_dogs input on TanKings. Your fish is far from low grade.
I mean, if you compare it to the TanKing picture in the bottem left of the poster, Yours has better fins, tail, and kok. Comparing it to those pictures its definatly a Tan King with fins a bit different. Hes a beast.

Thanks.

Whatever it is it's all that and a bag of chips! The pictures don't do this guy justice. I really like this guy. Nice Kamfa too.
