if you are in la im pretty sure ive been to this lfs before and they had several of these shrtbody fh's. they specialize in fh right? can't remember the name. anyway i would say the price is average for a store but one thing to think about is have you ever seen a pic of a full grown short body before? can't say I have and if so they are very sparse meaning they probably don't live long. check aquabid see if oyu can find a grown one for sale. I doubt it but if someone had one it would fetch a high price so why don't you see them?
 
I will like to stand next to ppl who found it to be a Short Body... neways there is another Strain called Bonsai Flowerhorn which looks very similar to Short bodies....

i wouldnt buy it for that price because they can max grow 10inches and thats it.

Hahahaha...putting fake information out there.
That fish is a bonsai aka short body. And it looks nothing close to a killin or kirin parrot. Those 2 different hybrid have 2 totally different physical shape to it. Bonsai grow to a maximum of 6"(I've seen 7" but most at 6"). And for $120 on that guy, I wouldn't mind buying a double row bonsai. You can cross it with another bonsai and try to create something that will look way better with that double row trait.
