Just wanted to share my FHs i got from an MFK member... they are all about 2"... as you can see, one's starting to change his colors (can't wait to see what that bad boy's gonna look like later)

they are all racing to see which one's going to be best looking; winner gets the 75G all to themselves

I like the second one more right now... but who knows? the first one may fade to be very beautiful. My friend gave me 3 midas from a batch of his. he still has 5 left. One of the midas he gave me were the ugliest of the batch, and now it has turned out to be the best looking one with the biggest head.

thanks! they each have thier own potential. i'll keep on updating this thread w/ photos as they grow.

they are crazy mean at 2", its just too bad i cant get a huge enough tank to house all of them. i might get a 40G breeder, assuming that would be adequate for one, maybe a female might work in it.

the flowerhorn in the first 2 pics above now looks like this; alot like a young Red Devil/midas

thanks fellas! i've narrowed it down to two (the fading golden one and the large guy in first post last pic)...

i have to wait till my 75G stand comes in to set up the 75 with just the two; the 55 is getting WAY too crowded w/ four of em.
