Charles Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Just want to share the photos of 5 ThaiSilk flowerhorn or more commonly known as Platinum flowerhorn that we have. Before we get into the debate on hybird, this thread is just for showing the fish. I really don't want to discuss the issue of problem or opinion about hybird fish. However, comemts about what you think how this fish is created, it is very welcome. The creator is keeping a very tight lips on what is involved and the number of this ThaiSilk is very limited. We are quite lucky to be the first to get this first in Canada. With white tank treatment, this fish will turn platinum. As for now, they do have a blue tint in the color and they are still quite young at about 4"+ Edited January 31, 2009 by Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Interesting fish. I'm sure they do not come cheap, but are cool all the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkangel Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 If I was to keep real nasty fish again I think I would choose the flowerhorn. The pair I had in the past were well known at 6" for trying to snack on the family cat when they had fry in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Wow, they are stunning. Unfortunately I don't really want to invest in a fish that basically takes up a huge tank to itself, but it is very interesting to see a white flowerhorn, thanks for sharing with us Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Pretty neat looking fish Charles---do they develop a kok--The white one almost looks like it has some albino oscar in it. I have seen some pics of other platinums and they looked a lot like texans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachromis1 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Looks good for a $500 fish Charles Kole has done well with his FH's this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 No kidding, eh... My poor photograph skill made the thaisilk looks white. It is actually a blue tint in the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are quite amazing looking. Very difficult for a photograph to captyre the true sheen that they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are quite amazing looking. Very difficult for a photograph to captyre the true sheen that they have. Funny thing is, I was on a chinese/thai or some other language website researching some info on platinum FH's the day before I had seen you were going to bring them in. You're selling them for quite cheap as I can see. A beautiful fish too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD. Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Nice looking FH. I bet that once these fish mature, that if one was to use a 10,000K bulb to accentuate the blue sheen they would look stunning. So, which one of you is going to keep one of these FH to grow out?
