New Flowerhorns

[Synirr]

I've been wanting a flowerhorn for a while, but never thought I'd get 6 in one day!! Or for free, at that
I don't know much about flowerhorn types (yet!) so I'll just repost what the breeder told me in regard to that, hehe.
This is the juvie, pretty little one! I get a girly vibe from her, but I could be completely wrong. She's red diamond x SRS

Here's her TOTALLY STYLISH temporary tank, still foggy from the sand because I just set it up about 10 mins before the photo was taken

Then I decided to make it EVEN BETTER by adding a very obviously fake plant . Function over form, guys.

Everybody checking one-another out

Here's what the newcomer sees out one side of her tank, yet she tries to go TOWARD them... she ain't scared

Marie likes her, presumably because they are relatively closely related

Look at those colours, and she's nowhere near finished developing yet

What a ham

"Are you my new mom??"

Blue dragon kamfa fry. The biggest is already aggressive at 1.5"!

Tiny little pearly ZZ x JK fry

Look how tiny!

This one will never have a kok so your lucky coz u don't like FHs with koks lol...

feed it with shrimp and bloodworms plus did he sent you the amazone pellets ? the color of this fish will definitely improve.

congratulations finally....

those BD - blue Drag Kamfa will grow like crazy so you better prepare a huge tank lol

Dany -- Yeah, I know. I can only keeping two at the most (more likely just one, we'll see how it goes). Gotta work on getting some bigger tanks!

_cRaCkEr_ -- That's what I was thinking... she has a cute face
I think I'm going to try to give away the blue dragons, if the ZZ x JK end up looking more like their daddy I'd rather keep one of them. I like the pearls... and how can I resist them, being so tiny and cute right now? Awwww *lol*
The red diamond x SRS is going in my 20g long as soon as I get all the betta juvies moved out, then the ZZ x JK can have that 10 gallon until I find a larger tank. That should do me for a couple of months, anyway. If I get really desperate I have a 30g plastic tub . I know I know, silly me getting fish I don't have tanks for yet, but how can I resist a price like FREE?

What is it going to end up looking like? I saw the pics of mom and dad, but I'm no flowerhorn person.. I guess it'll have lots of red and be sparkly

I like the oscar and whitey checkin out the new fish.. my fish do that too.. gotta love the personalities.

 

[Synirr]

vancouver -- I have no idea
I'm no flowerhorn person either, but I'm learning.

Have to say I have never been a fan of flowerhorns or hybrids in general.... i don't see the point of crossing 2 or 3 agressive cichlids to get another possibly even more aggressive cichlid.... can we not be happy with the natural fish forms?

Having said that, yours is a nice specimin and doesnt look heavily inbred like so many flowerhorns do..

man where could i get a fish like that from...but i dont know bro cracker.. it might have a head... lt is still small.. and synirr did say it does have srs blood.. and you know bout srs.. (late Bloomers) eventhough male or female..both could have nice notts.. by the way synirr, nice catch .. looks like it gonna have some nice and shinny colours, looks like it has a fan tail too.. guess it got it from the srs traits...mmmm wonder if it will have fading processes tooo Please do give us updates.. thanks
