Male " Blue Dragon " Flowerhorn ( Calgary )

[Chammy]

both flowerhorn and arowana are considered to auspicious. especially by the chinese and those in the far east.
the flowerhorn is a hybrid fish, bred from a combination of south american cichlids, beliieved to be mostly midas cichilids, and trimac cichlids..
many believe that the hump on the flowerhorn's head, called kok, is a sign of good luck, the bigger the hump the more lucky the owner gets. since its the male flowerhorns develop bigger humps, they also cost more. they also develop black markings along the side which is said to be numbers in chinese characters which are also considered lucky.

the arowana is believe to sacrifise its life to protect the lives of its owner.and in feng shui its supposed to bring luck to the home.

but mostly, both these fish are beautiful to look at and a joy to observe.. love them
