Sounds good? and for sure keep us updated and let us know how this vendor works for you. I’ve been curious about this particular vendor in the past.

I've bought from chonburiman before more than 10 years ago (transhipping through Julie Tran). No problems. Fish arrived healthy (albeit tired from being shipped from Thailand, took a few days to recover) and the coloration/markings didn't disappoint compared to online pics.

Sometimes for cichlids, I like going into the LFS and seeing which one has the best personality, because with cichlids, personality is definitely a factor.

I find flowerhorns to be pretty monolithic in personality. All very personable, intelligent, and aggressive.

Yup, her business back in the day used to be called Flowerhorns from Beyond.

Here's pics from today of my new flowerhorn (fish #1, SRD). I've had him for a couple weeks now, as healthy as an ox and eating voraciously. Decided to give him the lovely name of Pho the Phat Phlowerhorn. He's in a grow-out tank right now until he reaches around 6" (will move him to a bigger permanent home then). Currently around 4". Crushed coral, pH 7.8. Temp 78 oF. Being fed 2 to 3 times a day, pellets only (no live, frozen, freeze-dried, etc.).

I'll post more pics in the near future as he grows!

Pics were taken using different aquarium lighting. Growing nicely! Looks like he's going to follow the standard ~1" per month ZZ growth rate.
