wee2 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I bid Henward got the best pick. FHs are bad asses and can stir up the community. I have sold mine. I have the best balance in my tank ATMever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 dunno - could be just luck, there were many, many of those probably isnt on the forum and will eventualy sell, i reckon in 1 year we will see. but i am at a point where i have realised, i cant breed them as i dont have tanks. shame to just keep it and not breed.... so may see if one day i end up selling the male, he is a unsuitable candidate for my tank - i dont want it to be a 'survivor' type situation:D see how it goes. fraser is keen on taking him and trying to breed....

Duncan7 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 My smaller ones are colouring up, so maybe an age/size thing also, but guessing some nicer than others. My community pretty good atm too, things have settled down for the moment. Waiting for the jags to want to breed or some others to pair up, then trouble will ensue. Well if fraser needs a female in addition to yours henward ill probably have one or two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thai silk strain is the goal. The female of henwards is a good starting point, the male less so. It will take some cross breeding of fry to get the pure blue colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARY ANN Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 yeah, i got a very very white oscar and my female flowerhorn killed it in a matter of hours! how are the FH duncan? growing nicely? it must be a huge importer that can spear so many tanks to hold 1 fish in each. importing these must be such a worry for the importer if is held in mass. the ones now the standard in asia street markets and are so perfected in asia that they are now so pure for such huge asia market to be full of identical looking fish asia wide i am now told and have seen in my country.

Fruju Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I don't think they will give you an import ticket? No point in waiting for 'better' ones, listen to henward. Cos they will be gone before you know it, and I wouldn't bank on there being better ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 You can wait forever for fish you really want... like fresh water rays, piranhas, armatus, endlis, african goliath tiger fish, arapaimas, african arowanas, real life mermaids..... you can be waiting for ever:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 You still haven't found a mermaid yet? Might have to sell you mine when she outgrows her tank.... They're easy enough to find. They tend to squeal a lot when you capture them from the wild. Not much fun either, they just huddle up in the corner crying and begging for you to let them go.
