Why do you like / dislike FH?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hi guys, since this is an open forum just want to throw in my point of view, there are lots of species of fish out there that can give us equally good characters, equally challenging and beautiful so why intervene in natures course.. :)
 
nothing against them but i just think they are ugly. but then again i dont realy like frontosa ither.... i can see the atration for some people but they arent for me.
 
I like em but as Neo said the aggresiveness can be a liability sometimes.
Whats your take on hobbyists that take FH's teeth out so that they can make
them more of a community fish ?
 
I hate them with a passion, they are unnatural that someone produced to make money, period. The only reason why they are so popular is b/c they demand such a huge price tag, and when someone sees them for less then they are usually going for they are instantly bought. There are much better cichlids out there then the mutilated flowerhorn, like the trimac cichlid, which happens to be the FH origin.
 
Koji has some beautiful FH's. Makes me want one if they all looked as good as his. :drool:
 
What I don't like about them is that they breed like rabbits....actually their breeding habits are worst than rabbits, I use to have FHs, ended up with too much fry.
 
does any one have pictures of a flower horn .Bought one the other day about 3 inches for 10 dollars.what do they look like full grown.to me they look like wanna be fire mouth at that size.

They have different strains of flowerhorns with different colorations and patterns.
The most common one looks like a trimaculatus on steroids.
