Nice Thai silk, I personally don't like the pointy face on flowerhorns, but at that size good potential for kok growth And good finage too

The koks a hard kok from the looks of it, so the potential is limited.

As for the price, $80 at the most imo.

Advice... Keep temperature between 82 and 86 for a healthy and active Thai\Titanium Floho. Also with every water change use a small amount of Epsom salt. They tend to get backed up because of protein. This will improve there digestive process.

Basically treat them almost like a Discus. Titanium's or Thai Silk are a beautiful but weaker strain of Flowerhorn.

I bought a 3" Titanium FH for $75 (on line vs $100 in store) at That Pet Place. Attached are pictures when I first got him and another one year later.

FYI - He is darker in the second picture largely because of the change to black sand (vs white in first picture).

I feed him NLS. Kok has not changed much over the past 6 months. It may have peaked out.

Good luck with yours. They have more personality than most fish.
