I cant beging to believe what that one costs.... most likely over 10,000, but anyway to answer some questions the flowehorn was forged by the breeding of trimaculatus and giant red parrots in malaysia... there are all kinds of different species that are hyridized to get that kind of color. I have heard of breeders using texas, red devils, midas etc. to increase the genetic pool from which they are made. Im just getting into these guys, but they are not for people who value their dollar. 1 inch juvis can run you over 100 dollars with only the possability that they may look as good as the one above. Most keepers will buy many at once and sell off the mediocre ones.
They are extremely aggresive, much more so then piranhas.(yeah but who has the teeth
). Tank mates are not a possability, but the coolest thing about them is that they have been breed in captivity for so long that they have been accustomed to small tanks. a 40gallon breeder will support the 10-12 inch flowerhorn for life. They also reach these sizes in one year(they grow very quickly) most lou han enthusiast use divided tanks.
