Flowerhorn Cichlids Fish

Flowerhorn cichlids is a hybrid cichlid that was developed in Malaysia in the coursework of the second half of the 1990: s. It was created by crossbreeding different South American cichlids. Exactly which cichlids that were used to generate the Flowerhorn is a well kept secret only known by the breeders who developed the species but they did most likely crossbreed Trimacs (Amhilophous Trimaculatus) and or several other South American cichlids like Cichlasoma Festae, Amphilophus citrinellum (midas cichlid), Amphilophus labiatum (red devil) or Vieja synspila (redheaded cichlid). Flowerhorn cichlids are unlike lots of other hybrids fertile and can basically be breed in aquariums. They are simple to keep and can be kept in the same way as other cichlids from the same area. The only requirement is a massive aquarium to house these massive aggressive fishes in.

Flowerhorn cichlids are in Asia thought about to bring lovely luck and lovely Feng Shui. They are not the only fishes that are thought of in this way. The Asian Arowana is another fish that brings lovely fortune to its owner and that is being breed and sold at high prices in Asia. The pattern of thought behind the thought that Arowanas are bringers of lovely fortune can be present in the fact that they are thought about to resample dragons. Dragons are powerful creatures in the Asian mythology. The foundation for the belief that Flowerhorn cichlids are bringer of lovely fortune can be traced to the fact that the hump that the species create as it matures are thought about to resembles the Chinese God of Longevity. If the hump grows so does the lovely fortune of the owner. This lovely fortune can affect all areas of life.

Flowerhorn cichlids has ironically brought bad luck for lots of investors that invested in Flowerhorn cichlid when the hype was at its peak and who lost lots of funds when the market plummeted to more reasonable levels.

The Black marking on Flowerhorn cichlids also plays an important role in this species reputation as bringer of lovely fortune. These markings can sometimes generate patterns that resample Chinese signs and fish that displays these patterns are thought about to be the most fortune bringing of all. Examples of this are that some Flowerhorn cichlids display Chinese numbers on their sides and the owner of these fishes often play the number their Flowerhorn displays on the lottery. The reason behind this is an incident where a woman won one million dollars and claimed that he had the play the number her fish displayed. Another fish that is worth mentioning is a Flowerhorn cichlid that displays the Chinese sign for luck on its side and that fish is not very surprising regarded as additional lucky.
