hehe
there's so many variants of flowerhorns, in fact i find the people in my country (and maybe other asian countries) are oblivious towards the many types of cichlids in the world and that they were around even much earlier than Flowerhorns.
i mean, you could just put a Trimac or a Midas in a shop and call them Flowerhorn and everyone would buy it wholesale. You could call them Midas, Juvie or Severum a golden or albino or striped Flowerhorn and still get-away scott free!!
Heck to most people here, Flowerhorn is the only fish to have that kind of shape and markings. and worse it costs more than the tank setup.
sheeesh. the Flowerhorn thing is killing the Cichlid (and other species) hobby.

sometimes I envy you Europeans/Americans in the choices of fish in your LFS.
Look where I come from, the origins of Flowerhorn!!! Imagine the # of Flowerhorns i see.........heck i can't even get a decent Oscar around here. and i've only seen 1 shop that sells Convicts.
However that doesn't stop me from my Aquaria Hobby. Anyway, Enjoy your fish........have you pet your fish today?
