What type of flowerhorn to get?

Do you breed?

Well did up untill my breeder male died about a year ago.

Yeah been looking for a new male to replace Jr. But so far no luck. This here is Jr. Btw.

Very nice!

Thank you

I chose a super short body, practically a bonsai, because it won't get too big length wise and my tank is a 12" wide 60g. When you decide on the tank be sure to base it on footprint, so the 40b would be better. Wish I had a 40b.

Yeah I'm thinking about trying a 40b

Wouldn't mind a short body or bonsai but hard to find.

I really really like Black Kamfa. Thinking my next FH will be a sb BK.

Thoughts on this thai silk? It's at my lfs. Its 3ish inches and 75 dollars. Male or female?

Nice short body. You'll most likely need to vent when it's a bit bigger. It's hard to tell with FH I've seen females with humps larger than some males or no hump with a steep sloped forehead.

I really liked that one. Why not try a longer body next time.
