Not that I like them, I dont, but i'm just curious as to which cichlids were used to create the fh. I read a post a long time ago and I remember trimacs being one of them?
 
Not 100%, but I think they were a texas and either a red terror or red devil.
 
i'm pretty sure that it was a festae, a trimac, a midas, a red devil, a texas and a jing-jang blood parrot(?) it would take years to create one.

The only one I'm postive on is the trimaculatus. Proabably Midas/RD as well.

The birth of flowerhorn

In 1993 -Malaysians admired fishes with protruding Head , known as ‘Karoi’, in the western part of Malaysia, also known as ‘warship’. In Taiwan, this Fish has a slight protruding forehead and long Tail , and is widely accepted in the Chinese society which brings luck in geomancy.

In 1994 - The import of ‘Red Devil’ also known as ‘human face’ and ‘Blood Parrot’ from Taiwan to Malaysia mark the birth of flowerhorn.

In 1995 – With the introduction of 1994 birth of Flowerhorn this has lead to the ‘blood parrot’ being crossbreed with the ‘Human Face Red God of Fortune’ which produced a new Species called ‘five-colors god of fortune’. With its beautiful colors, it has brought an overwhelming response.

In 1998 – It has further improved with the import of ‘seven-colors blue fiery mouth’, from South America, known as ‘Greenish Gold Tiger’ and ‘Jin Gang Blood Parrot’ from Taiwan. This crossbreeding was a success, leading to the first generation of flowerhorns hjj named Hua Luo Han which is then followed by subsequent Flowerhorn developments.

Wow, um, very scientific... I'm going out to buy a couple new 'blue and red fiery frankenstien godzilla human face fish'
 
Aww, c'mon! Where's your sense of humor?
 
I belive that the 3 building blocks of the flower horn to be the devil/midas same fish imo and the trimac the texas that's original start.Now they will throw in anything to experament with i can't prove it but i suspect alot of veija genetics in the new types of fh we are now seeing.
