Zygotes Posts: 57 Group: Members Member #3,226 Joined: August 13, 2007	There's a couple of reasons why I keep Flowerhorns and fish in general. I like raising them up from babies and seeing how they turn out. It's definitely a stress reliever to sit and watch the fish.

IT all started with 1 because someone be big mouth and talk about it like it's the next big thing so you got your feet wet to see what's the hype is all about. Then you read articles on forum like this to learn more and when you learn more, you want more. Your curiousity takes you to the next level as you continue adding for upgrades and then you figure out that you too can breed to make your own. You also learn about the grading aspect of these fish for 2 are never the same or alike since first prize can only be handled by one. Then you learned that the value of these fish continues to go up when the fish grows bigger. So you bought a fry at $5 and in 1 year, that fish grows up to be a $20 fish (I'm being generous here). That is a 400% profit margin there. If people who play the stock market knows that 400% in 1 year of gain is really a big gain. But then offcourse, it's not a liquid value but a asset value. You are only worth $20 richer if you sell your fish. It is this principle of gaining for your hard effort that makes the hobby so challenging and fh had not disappointed me yet. If I do it to impress the ladies, I would buy me a gold teeth instead.

Big Daddy Fish Guts Posts: 3,812 Group: Team Universal Member #28 Joined: June 9, 2006	While I do keep fish for stress relief amongst other reasons. To me Flowerhorn provide the fish keeper a unique opportunity to go interactive with the fish keeping hobby that no other aggressive fish offers. They offer you the chance to compete and also provide a change to strive to create your own notch. With the uncountable different strains and the ever changing Flowerhorn out there. They open up a doorway to a never dead ending road! One reason people get out of the hobby is for that reason. It almost pushed me out many times years ago. Your list can only be so big, and once you acquire all the species you once dreamed of having and have raised them, breed them, then what? You get bored! Things are no longer fun and you start to loss it. Flowerhorn breathed that live back into it for me and promise to never let it slip away. Even before I found Flowerhorn I have always favored fresh water over salt. Not that I have not kept salt because I have and am well versed in it as well, and off coarse I see the beauty in it. However freshwater has always intrigued me more just something about it. One thing that sucked though is the biggest b*tch that everyone has that are new to the hobby when comparing the two. The lack of color. Once again Flowerhorn fill that void. Why do I keep them for so many reasons but most of all they are the total package in my book its a beautiful thing

Zygotes Posts: 73 Group: Team Universal Member #276 Joined: December 30, 2006	Why do I keep Flowerhorns? I have kept pretty much every fish made available to the fish hobby. FHs opened up a whole new world of fish keeping. Its like starting over again becuase there are so many different kinds and colors.

2" Frys Posts: 201 Group: Members Member #11,879 Joined: June 20, 2008 Favorite Strain ALL of The ABOVE!!!!!	WHY now that the ? I got started by accident. it all started when i sold off my last angel fry. and the miss wanted me too try to raise some thing different. so we both went to the local pet / fish store and looked for what seemed a good hour. when we decided on the fish. we were told they where jack dempsey's. and at that time they were only an inch and a half. so i said we will take them and i got 5 german blue rams as well. so when we got home i went on line to find out more about the rams and the so called jack dempsey. well come to find out i didnt have jack dempsey i had flower horns. and when i did more home work this web site keeped comin up. well the members here do a great job on informing people on the hobby. because after looking at all the great looking fish on this site I said that i would like to have the best some day. so the reason why. is because flowerhornrus opened my eye to the JEWEL of the fresh water world.
