This might be a dumb question, but is there a good website/article to learn about the different types of Flowerhorn? I hear things like "Thai silk," "super red dragon," "kingkampka", etc., but I don't really know what they mean. I know what I like to look at, but I really don't know much else. Also why do some juvenile Flowerhorns I've seen have no hump at all, while other have a decent size one even at a small age?

Also what do you think about this one? It's fin is messed up so it is cheaper, but I think it is beautiful still.

Just look em up theres a big difference in look and shape alot have different names but are very similar if not the same for instance blue diamond(1st breeder in malaysia), thai silk(2nd breeder bought and took to thailand), and titanium(?) are the same strain just from different breeders in different countries and the size of their kok and long fins at a young age is the result of line breeding the best of the best desired traits in a generation of fry that red dragon hes cool and good looking but if you were to buy him for breeding purposes that would be a bad idea since most likely the limp dorsal fin would be a deformity

Not that hard just takes patients and space the only hard part is the pairing process both sexes can and will kill the other if you dont keep an carefull eye on their behavior the make great parents but mine are impatient and if I dont remove the fry from the tank they'll clear the whole batch out with in a week of free swimming if their both kept with the fry

My interest was in breeding these guys. If you want to get into it, this would make a nice breeder. The positive for me is in not knowing what will be created but the big downer is that you end up with so many low grade (throw aways) and very few nice ones from each batch...this was what I liked, the challenge in creating my own breed. Not to mention all the tanks you'll need along with the food, electric/water bill & water changes.
