My Favorite Flowerhorns
This is Banos, a blue face dragon fh, with female Aji ( a kamalau zenz zhou) :
The second male flowerhorn is Botoy, an Oriental phoenix fh with female Ayeesha, a Red Kimchu fh.
Compared to Banos, Botoy is paler in color, which is typical of the phoenix strain. That is why I paired Botoy with a red based fh, hoping that their offspring will be an improvement of their race.
Thanks for viewing.

Thanks, Tom. Banos won first runner up at a flowerhorn show we had last December 2006 here in Davao City, Philippines. What kind of fish is that in your avatar?

Thanks.  The biggest I've seen so far is at 12 inches. They get to live upto 10 years or more if you take good care of it.

Hi, Callum, what is LFS? Flowerhorns originated from cichlids and yes you are right, they do get huge when they mature. Flowerhorns are extremely territorial in nature and are very aggresive and that is why when breeding them, more often than not, the female die.

Aren't they a hybrid type of fish? I think I remember reading that somewhere. But I have seen them going for upwards of $129.99CDN and that is for one. A pair would be something like $200-300CDN.

GREAT!  Our forum is still new and running for barely 3 months as of this time. We decided to come up with it so as to bring together fish hobbyists here in Davao City so as to promote the fish keeping hobby. Hope you guys can help us in improving our forum.

I don't think Fishlore's too old but it shows what happens when you get a site that people can treat each other good and be crazy about their fish. Since we started, it's REALLY gone wild with how much posting and how many members keep joining.

You're right Tom. Prices for this kind of fish has really gone up. I bought Banos at Php 15,000.00 (philippine currency) and that was last year. If you convert that to usd with a conservative conversion rate of P48.00 to 1 usd, that will be 312.50 USD. It's cheaper if you buy fry and grow them up. Botoy costs around 105 USD, an Oriental Phoenix strain of a flowerhorn and its a local bred already same with Banos.
