	dont you think flowerhorns, or "luo hans" are damn scary looking?
betta_max Hobbyist Posts: 64 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Nov-2001	they are beautiful in a way but when i see them, i cant help but think "frankenstien". maybe its due to the large heads. they go for hundreds though! craziness. anyone own one? if i had one, id name it "lindsay" as in lindsay "luo han". get it? haha. nudge-nudge, wink-wink

HOKESE Mega Fish Posts: 1105 Kudos: 478 Votes: 271 Registered: 22-Feb-2003	i think taking over the tank is a territory thing,they just have to be boss.but i really wouldnt even try him with other fish those teeth could realy inflict bad injury.im not sure, but ive herd the longer they are by themself the more aggresive they get,i think they get more aggresive with age too.but dont quote me im still new to these guys.

betta_max Hobbyist Posts: 64 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Nov-2001	yeah, a big thing also is what you keep with em. i hear alot of people keep em with asian aros and rays with no problem. but then again, nothing is messing with an asian aro. as for luo hans ive seen some lovely ones and ive seen some ugly ones but all of them are unique. im kinda on the fence of hybrids though too.

betta_max Hobbyist Posts: 64 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Nov-2001	lots of great info ive been coming across on these guys. they are the new feng shui fish, they are suppose to bring good luck and prosperity to those who own one. the last one was the asian arowana. im thinking of getting one but i dont want it beating the hell outta my ray and or clown loaches. the more research i do on these guys though, the more i like em.
