  • amphilophus lyonsi (NOW BREEDING)

    these are rare species. many of them are now in danger in their natural environment due to invasive plecos, convicts, and others.

          Beautiful juvenile Flowerhorns, I want fry if you can get these FHs to breed............Just kidding, bro. But good luck with them. After reading those two articles you posted about hybridization. pure strains such as these depend on ethical and concerned keepers like you for survival.

              Wow. I didn't expect them to be that beautiful.
              Trogdor was a man. Or maybe he was a dragon man. Or maybe he was just a dragon. But he was still TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

              You know, fish are great. I love my fish. But what I really want is a monkey.
