Yay - Flowerhorn

[Gill]

King Kongs was sold so got him a Stunning Pollini and a few 6 Inch Female Cons.
Will See what he pairs up with.

As in tilapia? They cant hybridise. I wouldnt have thought a con possible either purely for size difference.

Oh I thought they could. Oh well they are stunning and will make a nice addition.

they do have some Jack Dempsey, Salvini, Tbar, Jade Eye, Huge 6Inch Jewels, And some others i Forget.
Would any of those do - or wouild i be best giving him a female parrot.

Very doubtful and with the jewel its not possible. The only one that might would would be the salvini. I have seen tbar/fh cross but it was a large male tbar and small female fh. Better off with a parrot/texas/midas/syn or other large related cichlid.

Thanks

I have asked my friend to get me in some larger parrots

Syn - you mean Synysilliums - they can hybridise with him ====== cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool i know where i can get some of those beuts.

Thanks Mate, Yeah i Love this big tank. Everyone who comes over stares into it asking whats that fish, whats that fish, whats that fish over and over again.
they all love petting crabby as he is soooo friendly. Big Lugg.

I hate to say it but it does look a bit awkward for a fish that size to move around in there with such dense planting, still, looks good.

 

[Gill]

Yeah its just deceptive, he has nearly 100 g in that section alone

I have a nice flowerhorn, unfortunately however, it did go through the crazy practice of having cosmetic surgery, to make it into a heartshaped flowerhorn.

Here is a vid of my tank, with him in it, the colours unfortunatley do not come out in the vid, but shows you the heartshape.

Yeah I had him on there to get a feel for any breeders who had females of his size. So far have had a few feelers of local people who have females gig enough to breed with him, and a few people coming over next week to view him for studding.
Never selling him as the Rents and Wife love him and his goofy Face.

Ebay Listing worked the way i wanted it to.

Uh... 20 inches? You realise that's 50cm right?
Are you sure?
