and another thing, wouldnt it be more cruel to take a fish out of its natural home and shove it in a glass box for us to oogle at, rather than take a hybrid that doesnt know better and keep it?

people seem to forget that we are keeping fish because of our own stupid greed, not because its good for the fish.

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?

Have you SEEEEN a flowerhorn!? seriously, how can you say thier color isn't better than the average CA cichlid? obviously you haven't seen a QUALITY flowerhorn in person b/c you will appreciate them if you do.

although character is usually based on individual fish, flowerhorns do seem to have better character than most fish.

I've kept Midas and Red Devil's for over 10 years and only started keeping FHs for less than a year and I can tell you already, I'll pick a FH over any other fish any day.

now Pricing is a different issue ;)

He's probably just mad about flowerhorns because he wasn't responsible enough to raise his to full size. Whats available locally to him is probably also a issue. I think he's just crying because he can't get his hands on one LOL!

What i was thinking^^
