Richard_ Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Well you have to name them instead of "that blue one and the flowerhorn in that tank" so it's Kassie (Kasman) and the boy has a big kok, so I call him d1ckhead :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard_ Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks Matt I have travelled a long way to "collect" the best specimens. Bad ingredients = bad pizza , same with fish I have several of your (Kasman) fish, a KeithB, a Steve, a few Lucas', a Den and a few from various other locations now. There should be some interesting fry soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas73 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Great work man there all looking good and how's the KOK on the Kansan male you to of me OMG ,and I love your red female she's like a semi fader I like them they keep there script and just keep getting redder And your collection of flowerhorn is just amazing well done mate your going to have a big food and power bill like me lol But IMO it's worth it to try and make your dream fish that's what it's all about Cant wait to see what they look like man It would be nice to come and have a look at you collection in person if that's cool with you and I'd bring a new addition for your collection only if its ok with you man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_ Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Lucas Very kind words mate, thanks You're welcome over anytime but I only have 12 tanks running, not like others who have 50+ so the tour would be a very quick one. I've got 5 nice pairs and several batches of fry growing out but that's it so far. As to food, power and water bills, yup that's the cost of a hobby, and my whole setup is cheaper than motorcycle parts or maintaining my mountain bikes, so yes there is a cost but it's reasonable considering. One set of (carbon) motorcycle wheels is more expensive than my entire setup including the fish, so it's all relative. I'm still trying to breed my little beast (the waterhead I got off you) but he's not doing his thing yet. Great kok growth though and he's paired up with a nice girl, just gotta be patient Edited February 5, 2014 by Richard_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy02 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hey they are some nice fish you got there. Its good to see the quality has really stepped up for flowerhorns in SEQ. Also good to see some new names on the forum since I was last here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
