That hybrid hater thing will never go awayCentralMayhem said:
But you can't deny the amazing color and looks some of these hybrids obtain! I'm hooked on them thats for sure. I'll be importing some super nice pieces this January. When they arrive I'll post em up.The true combination is held secret by the breeders but I have seen some that were produced by crossing a red based kk parrot female to a male texas cichlid! I know the strain isn't very stable so only a very small percentage of the offspring will be super nice pieces.joel said:
2,600 Baht $10 American, yet those bastard's will charge 15 times that to anyone who would like to buy it over here!
There running a monopoly on us here in the USA! The only way to get an ok deal is to import them yourself thru an honest breeder.
Dan1, I almost forgot you are right about the monopoly thing.
I'm not sure about the breeding of the Red Texas, but I'm sure they aren't sterial. So just like the Flowerhorn, I say to you why do we have to put up with this anymore? It's not like they are Arowana and need the large ponds to breed. If American's get their hands on good strains we are just as capable of breeding and selling for our selves! I know I speak for the Flowerhorn at least when I say that they are no harder to breed and rais than Jack Dempsey's. You don't see us having to import them and pay crazy amounts of money for them do you? Once this is achieved. We can lower the market, and the vast majority can maybe for once have their first look and possibly be able and willing to buy their first one of these fish! The market for these fish in this country is now limited only to a few who no what they are looking for and do so on-line like us. Everyone knows that this market would never servive inour local fish stores. No average American will be willing to pay $200 for a fish. Think though of the potential, and of how many if given the chance to choose from buying an Oscar adult at say 15-20 dollars baby at 5-10 and maybe adult Flowerhorn ranging from say 30-70 baby's maybe $30. How many would choose to go with a more superior and vastly more beautiful fish?
I have a DREAM of this one day being a reality and am comited to seeing it happen! At least here on the West-Coast for now!

Supplies and Demands. If people really want it, they can charge how ever much they want. Plus shipping and tariffs have a lot to do with it.
