BIG_ONE;4853735; said:A tan king is gold pearls and their pearls are lined up or patterned like someone drew on it. It's not random patches like that. Muscular has nothing to do with a Tan King or Kamfa at all. The muscular body itself only comes from a ZZ. Square and compact are from Kamfa.
And trust me, all those fish from Chonburiman has Thai Silk bred in them. Kamfa does not come extreme armored pearl like that naturally just by breeding them with one another. In order to have that armored pearl, you need an armored pearl fish. And that's what Choburiman uses, a Thai Silk. Cross that with a KK female and you get that. Now if you were to cross it over to a KKP female, the pearls will thin out a little bit and their face will be a baby Kamfa face(notice how some of the ones with white eyes and barely any thick armor pearls turn out to be - KKP was involved). By the way, Thai Silk have a green tint to it also...not just blue. High quality Thai Silk are metallic silver, good luck finding one.
Thanks, what u say there is very true.

Having said that I agree with Big_One, it most certainly has Thai Silk in it, and it is definitely not Tan King.
Don't get caught up in sellers name games, enjoy the fish for what it is.
Yeah, i understand. 8yrs of raising fh i have never fell for there name game. i know its not a TK, but in my eyes i can see it. whatever it is i still think he still a beauty.
Musha is 100% right about this. I still don't understand why Thai sellers put their fish as "Tan King" or King Kamfa with "Malau look". Just be careful, when you shop on aquabid.Musha;4872066;4872066 said:

Tan King from Viet Nam not Thailand. Tan is name of the breeder in Viet Nam. I think thailand dont have tan king, because the parents of Tan King was death. And At present dont have tan king with small size, only have big size 6 - 9 inch
Sorry, guys no more update. I want to thanks everybody for there comments. I been keeping flowerhorns many years now like many fish keepers sometime you have to change hobbies or fish because it interest you. Saltwater has interest me now and I have traded this flowerhorn and some $$$ for a guy whose was getting rid of all his saltwater tanks and equipments. It was a deal I couldn't refuse. Thanks to all
