FlowerHorn Fish|'Hua Lou Han Fish'
FlowerHorn Fish or its also called "Hua Lou Han" in Mandarin language? Who ever heard this name before?. It never occurred to me that I will come face to face looking at these beautiful fish at a friend's house. Looking at its protruding forehead which is the main attraction and having striking features in appearance and color. These species of fish are really totally different and uniques from other fish. Just by looking at the photos you will know what I mean.
What on earth is FlowerHorn Fish
FlowerHorn Fish or Hua Lou Han Fish as some people called it are actually a cross breed between different cichids from South America. Exact which species that are used to breed Flowerhorn Fish are unknown but most people believe that it is combination of a trimac and one or several other species.
The first impression when people see these fish, Wow! "What an exotic fish"
See the photo on the right. Do you noticed, there is a big hump on the fish's forehead. That's the biggest attraction that people want to see. Yet instead of the hump, the existence of some black-marking on its body, which resemble Chinese characters,
is also an interesting issue. Some lottery-punters(gambling) sometimes try to get some clues from the markings? Sound weird! but people will do all sorts of things to get rich.
