This one is pretty well balanced & is good illustration of your graph... not my favorite pic, but shows what your talkin about... especially the pearls in/around flowerline/flowers...


Grade A - flowerline should be more than 75% to 100%.

1. Kok - the bigger the better.
2. Colors - the more solid & colorful the better.
3. Body - the stout & thicker the better.
4. Finnage & Tail - Balance & proportion.
5. Flowerline - the darker & more shiny pearls surround it the better.

I have another curiousity question

so from A you go to AA then to AAA

what abuot if you start with C so it goes to CC and to CCC?

i think they throw away the C'ssss
hehe

yup, most of time breeders will throw away the Cs & Bs too unless they are the very best few pieces...

I got you again with another tough question

before i answer your tough question, can you show me a flowerless ZZ pic?

I don't have picture but I do know they exist from logic and deductive reasoning. If 1 dot zz fh exist, I'm sure a no flower do exist.

If not then how do you explain the flowerless category in them competition?

Both have upper and lower extreem to what people calling beauty.

In keno, you pick 15 numbers and you hit all, u win jackpot. You hit 0 and you still win something

So in fh, you get 100% full row and you hit jackpot. You get 0 flower and you too will win for that is a really really rare piece.

I hope I'm going somewhere with such thought and concept for I don't really know much either. Student asking to learn. Please teach if you may.

you are right. most of the time a single/lil dot on the end of caudal peduncle, many would still classified it as a flowerless. but a 100% flowerless is rare. as for those flowerless category, it was meant to be no flowers other than the dot.

sorry for i dunno much about Keno but i do know i did hit the jackpot if i got a AAAAA.... thumbs up

What about under the chin of a FH...dont know what its called, but when it doesnt come out and doesnt flow with bottom of the fish...( making fish balanced, more rounded from under the chin flowing towards the belly).

Great information its a beautiful thing
I have a question, can a B or C class FH produces AAA or A class fry? What is the chance for a batch to have a AAA class FH and how big will the fry have to grow before you can recognize the potential in order to classify them?
thank you

well im not no master nor a genius at that..hahah.. but

from past experiences.. i did a low grade classic Fh and the frys came out better than the parents.. but then again i think many things comes to play.. such as housing and feedings does take great affects on newly hatched .. just like babies.. they are more prone to alot of things..

well lets see.. i got a pic

this is my first FH..THE FATHER
Posted Image

and here is one of his son

Posted Image


the mother was also a low grade and on top of it, it was the FAther's sis.. and right there is a key to breeding, if you know what i mean cool guy

but this was an accidental thing.. i knew nothing of Fh and or how to raise them when it happened..ahahah im sorry


chances for anything to happen.. i would base it on genetic..never know what coding they have..so anything is possible in my book... but i believe more likely if you breed HQ and with some more luck..your chances would be greater.. Isnt that what selective breeding is all about i'm lost

about how big till able to recognize I would say.. it depends on the strains.. different strains develop differently and also .. depends who is the judge.. beginner, novice or expert.. as in life.. we live and we learn.. some are more special on certain subject as others.. but we all could achieve and gain that knowledge if we keep on being persistant.. ( I think) .. we all got different eyes smiliee

not sure if i make any sense..for i havent slept for almost two days laughin rollin duh duh 2 wwohh

the chin of a fish is known as a Isthmus which is located right after the gill juncture.

you are right on the protruding part which makes the fhs more balance & rounder. a well cared & thicker body fh will tends to have these character. maybe it is the same as what a fatter human is always with a chubby cheek..... smiliee

no, i don't think so a B or C to produce a AAA because the genetics (kok, colors, body, finnages & pearls) on those B or C was just ain't the best as in AAA though they may be brothers.

the percentage of a AAAs in a batch of course varies from breeders to breeders. the highest percentage is about 5% & some even at 0.5%. do not believe in any breeders trying to tell you that their breed of AAAs is 20 or 30%.

to the breeders, they could recognize a 1.5" fry AAA potential but to us maybe at 3" or bigger. that is why most of the AAAs were reserved for the highest price customers for their profits & survival for overheads & maintenance.... its all good

I do agrre with the grading ways. I like my FHs with full flowerlines and colors and all that good pretty stuff.
But Im not a robo and I grade or judge my fish by my taste and preference.

Do Mal or you experts have a "by the book" way of judging women too? LOL
The flowerhorn fishes are cool and beautiful, but the flowerhorn hobby is crap!
