Off to the LFS tomorrow to buy a male cichlid to pair with my 3.5" female flowerhorn

Could'nt agree more.
If I were you(Or had another tank) I would jump on this guy. $100 shipped.

Cant beat it.
i would have, if i was in the usa! and i cant afford another 100 pounds, (200 dollars give or take) for it.
my flowerhorn isnt the best, i really wanted to mix it with a parrot to see if i could make some titanium parrots, but thats not a option, so im thinking jag! but if they dont have any, then idk! ill keep you all posted!

Male parrots are not fertile. Save some money and buy another Thai silk to it. If you cannot afford anything right now, don't rush. The FH hobby is pretty expensive, I understand that. Best not to mix with any other fish besides another male Thai silk. Trust me, it's worth the waiting.
 
maby a zz or a gm?

A lot of fish that are mix with Thai silk kind of look funky and really weird. Doesn't quite stand right for quality. Although some does come out good looking no doubt, but overall...the platinum blue color is just too strong of a gene.
 
^^ Agree with everything said. Think about it first. Don't rush, I would get another silk to breed with it personally or a parrot fish, that would work.
 
well i wanted to create something unique, something exciting. my old ZZ was still in the LFS but he had sold it yesterday else i would have returned home with it.

She has a mate, all is ok, ill suprise you all later, im very pleased with my buy, it was a choice i wanted! keep your eyes out! ill prob get a thai silk in the future, but im one of those people that like 2 different looking fish then having two the same, iv never owned malawi's for that reason tbh
