Local Fish Store

hey David, I think you missed out KML

Well KML is Kamalau which is the same as GM depending on different countries in chinese i think they call it that

SML=SonMalau= New Generation GM

What is KK, King Kamfa?? and what would MPBD be??

KK is King Kamfa

and i assume MPBD is Master Piece Blue Dragon but i could be wrong correct me if im wrong guys

With so many abbreviations used by FH enthusiasts, it is so helpful that you've posted a number of the most common ones so beginner enthusiasts can understand these lingos. Thanks for taking the time to help us all.

NGBD - new generation blue dragon

Ok I see people write MP all the time. What does that mean?

MP = Master Piece

fish are always changing in the flowerhorn industry so for 2009, look out for some KM

which stands for kamfaMonkey

they are kamfa and comes from the line of a modern Golden monkey who does not reproduce pure but a mixture of all kinds of strains of flowerhorn to make the monkey.

the distinct feature of this kind is the wrap tail, pearls from the texas line, tall wide body of the gm and the cute facial of a bottle nose dolphin with an even closed mouth. Also red eye to give a better chance in the fertility line.

I can not advertise here but the pictures are online somewhere

i have a question sir.. how would you know if it is a blue dragon?

Here is an example of a BD that you don't normally see any more one of my friends back in the days

I see the abbreviation FKK a lot, but I don't know what it stands for...

Does the KK at the end of it mean King Kamfa? If so, what does F stand for?

Thanks...

FKK = FlowerhornUSA Killer Kamfa or FlowerhornUSA King Kamfa

Oh, wow! So FHUSA has a strain of its own? All the FKKs I've seen around are really awesome, by the way!

If you don't mind me asking, who are the breeders behind this awesome strain?

Thanks, sir. =D

Soo many strains to choose from,
but the main characteristics of
FH enthusiasts are the Kok, plums, & pearls
the most unique the better

Thanks for the info

soo many choices but its all your preference

Right. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe cliche, but it always applies. =D

u kno what would be helpful... a picture or a link to a picture next to each dif kind of flowerhorn =]

To see some of the older strains you might try to find one of those old school green flowerhorn poster or you can try looking around for old books on flowerhorn.

Most of the newer and popular strains can be seen here: http://www.flowerhornusa.com/forums/index.php?showforum=8
