What is the deal with Flowerhorns?

[Jakob]

Why do people like flowerhorns?
They dont have a nice colour and their character isnt better than Midas, Red Devil, Dovii, Trimac for example.

In my opinion hybridizing is cruel, its just wrong bending natures way.

Somebody explane to me what is so great about Fh?

Sorry..I don't know what kind of color you're looking for but I'm pretty sure you can get a flowerhorn in just about any color you want...

The colours always seem so fake to me. Not my point though.

Flowerhorn has nice colors and have personalities. Some people like their looks, other like their personalities, there are no wrong answers.

Do you like blue and shiny?

Flowerhorns come in almost every color and they are the coolest fish you will ever own.

It's no different than what humans have done with dogs. Interbreed or cross breed to get the desired specimen. I thought they weren't all that great till I bought one and now it is my favorite fish!

Fake? Hmm..... mine is all tad bland.. talk about fake.. but if you say fh don't have nice colour & personality, I have to disagree.. imo they are like aquatic dogs..
Bottom line is, you need to connect with your fish.. doesn't matter if it's a midas, dovii, lungfish(which I think is ugly but many ppl adores them), snakeheads, arowana, parrot fish, marine fish, shark, whale, mermaid , etc.......
To be honest, I've been trash talked by ppl regarding my fh but that didn't stop me from keeping them.. As long as I think the fish is right, it's all that matters..

do you have ANY idea how many "midas" or "red devils" are hybrids?

i love my FH, BP's, and other hybrids i own, i also love the "pure" fish, but if i didnt i certainly wouldnt put people on blast for liking what i dont.
