    Big blue aka zeus

    This was one of my all time favorites, his name was zeus and i successfully spawned him so there are many of his babies swimming around. Sterling ace took him from me when he was about 33cm, to my knowledge he has passed away. With Zeus my old red devil could be seen, i saved this guy from some one at 30 cm who was keeping him in a 3 foot tank and when i had him at my lfs in the 3m display tank the power tripped and he passed away.

    Texas

    This was honestly the best looking texas i had ever seen, sadly he got an infection, i took him for an antibiotic injection but he passed away. He has been my only fish to pass away. He was about 24cm and a real bad ass

    Jethro the flowerhorn

    Here is Jethro, got him at about 3 cm and grew him to 30cm, he got beet up real bad in a breeding project by the female and i grew really attached to him. He use to have such an awesome personality. Sterling ace also took him from me and to my knowledge he jumped out of her tank and passed away. RIP

    They were stunning and amazing fish. Bringing this up makes me feel like a complete shoe box.

    My own flowerhorn breed

    Here are my two favorite flowerhorns i breed. I am not sure what happened to them, i sold them to Exotics at about 14cm. Its sad not being able to keep all the fish you want
