I saw these "rainbows" at Preuss last friday. It looked to me like a zz x rainbow cichlid. Only thing that resembled the typical fh was the flowerline. Had the body shape of a rainbow or jd. Rye can you post updated pics of what youes looks like now?
Damn some of you guys are opinionated for a minority forum. Flowerhorns have always been attractive in the eye of the beholder. Theres many I like and dislike but I dont go around bumming people out over fish they really like.
Having said that id definatly grow out the circled one I think it looks decent!
Good for him for trying I think he just needs more direction with the line breeding. Keep us updated on that pearlier one, id separate it and powerfeed.
