I really like your question Lynda.. bravo

Very hard question to answer, but I would rather go with the head gene...Tail, fins, flowerline and color can be fixed. Just get a nice female to breed with the big head. smiliee

i'd go for line breeding. but takes time and lots of patience.

regards to the question among the two, i would go for male with big kok. hopefully he has the dominant gene for the kok while the other features would hopefully be gotten from the mom.

Big Kok is definitely the best for breeding.
Cross with a nice female then the babies should have
great variation, select one with moms genes body, fins, tail and just hope
for kok to pop.

yes, you guys were right! always starts with the big kok male to a nicer female = F1. then F1 nicer female to its daddy = F2.....F3 and then F4 and you should get a desire strain of fh by then.

No, only white eyed Kamfa males are 99% infertile. As for the red eyed Kamfas (male & female) are 50-50% of fertility.

Hey Lynda, I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding but I believe most female Kamfas are fertile. Some of the females with more Kamfa genes take longer to mature and will lay eggs much later in life when compared to ZZs. I would definitely go for the male with a large head pump up

First time I saw the FH head or cichlid head I thought "eww!". What the heck? I never want head like that on my cichlids. Then as I grow with the hobby I feel if a FH does not have a head, it is not a complete or a true FH. The head is the main trait of uniqueness in the FH.

So I pick head gene, for it is the key to start with for me.
The flowerhorn fishes are cool and beautiful, but the flowerhorn hobby is crap!
