    Hi,
    Is there a flowerhorn breeder around JHB? Or any where I can buy baby flowerhorn?
    Thanks.

    Perhaps @MariaS knows
    She often knows where to source decent fish in the Jhb area.

    I saw a few 15cm ones at petmasters in boksburg this week
    saw some really nice ones at waazeers before Christmas.
    positive note importers seems to be bringing 10cm plus fish witch are well developed and give some idea what they will turn into, rather than bulk 3cm babies witch is a lucky packet as to what you get no matter how many A they put in front of the grade.

    Agree with @top dog
    I havent seen the ones at pet-masters but yes, Wazeer did have some and he regularly brings in some nice ones

    You looking for a baby or adult?
    Im sure i saw a lovely one for sale couple days ago but it was an adult, let me know and i will find out

    I might have a 12cm male red dragon flowerhorn for sale. This depends on his personality as I don't want my female thai silk to get injured.

    Got the male and I kind of like him.

    And he gets along with my female which was surprising.

    Will definitely need to upgrade the tank soon if they decide to breed.
