she is a neat fish, but not liked by alot of hobbyist. most don't like hybrid fish.i love her, she eats out of my hand. But mean as hell. she has killed everything i have tried to put in with her. I raised her as the only fish in a 55 gal. tank, wish i would have raised her with other fish. Then maybe i would of had a chance to keep something with her.
Jon, no i didn't get her at the swap.I have had her a long time. I have seen the guy selling them at the swap and he has alot of nice ones

I have never had one but I have a short story about the most beautiful one I ever saw.  At a hair salon in a local mall, in their storage area way out in the back, they left the door open accidentally.  I looked in when I saw a huge fish tank.  In it was a flowerhorn, just huge, about 16" or so, and all red, pink, purple, the most colorful fish I have ever seen.  It looked well cared for and healthy too.  It should have been out in the open for everyone to admire.  Not stuck in a storage room.
