ABOUT FLOWERHORN

Flowerhorns belong to the cichlid group and are pure man-made hybrids. They were first bred in Malaysia and Thailand and according to some sources, were obtained by cross breeding between Red devil, the Trimac cichlids, and the hybrid Parrots.

They first entered the market during the late 1990s and soon got popular due to their eye-catching body shape and the belief of monetary gains if kept at home. Soon hobbyists and even common people started having one and then they were exported to other countries as well. So, now they are quite easily available and one of the most liked aquarium fish among hobbyists.
