    If I remember correctly, it seems to have started almost at the same time in Malaysia and Singapore.

    In Malaysia, they're called Luo Hans and flowerhorn. Singapore, they're called kirin (qilin)

    Err.. a bit off-topic...
    Actually, I think it is a Singaporean who first bred this, which caught the eye of a Malaysia who lives in Ipoh. This Malaysian 'improved' these hybrids which caught the hearts of many people around Asia. Plus all the rumours about such a hybrid and the purposeful jacking up of the prices...
    But I never blamed the Singaporean who bred such a hybrid(s) because he did not really publicized his fishes although he bred them quietly for a couple of years.
    Honestly, I think the craze started in Malaysia first.

    That's great, cos you like the fish for its own sake, rather than it's 'speculative' value, supposed myths or are just following the crowd. I would like to know honestly what the people who are buying luohan and luohan only what exactly motivates them - the fish, the ideas surrounding it, the snob value or what?

    LSZ,
    Other than the usual trimac genes, what other possible cichlids are mixed in this fish's ancestry?

    Thx

    if talking abt this particular fish of yours..

    i will of coz put in trimac
    i also recognised guapote blood, in fact i strongly suspect Umbie inside. It has a lot of fine "jewels"
    but at the same time, i dont think these are from Texas.

    But with all hybrids, this can only be speculation at best, coz many offsprings may not readily show parental traits all the time..

    i cannot be sure if Midas is in your fish, but i know they 100% are in some of the later ones.

    so far, your fish has a classic Trimac shape..a fat trimac.

    some other Luohans exibit other shapes actually. SOme resemble texas, some are more round they tend to Midas, i even had saw some which i am pretty sure have jaguar/motaguanese or Fredie blood inside

    it is endless!

    LSZ,
    Thanks for the info.
    After searching thru the web for pics, I think my LH has umbie blood.

    .

    I'm still trying to pinpoint the rest.

    I also agree that he's a fat trimac looking fish...

    what baffles me is that the Umbie is a 2ft fish.
    and its body shape also drastically different from trimac

    thats my guess it is up to you to speculate too

    Uh Oh, looks like I better prepare a 5-6' tank for it. After hybridising, I guess its max size should be some where bigger than a trimac (what's the max size for a trimac?) and 2'

    What's the growth rate like for a 8-9" fish?
    I think my LH is still growing at 0.5" / mth
    Is this fast or slow?

    Just out of interest, anyone having >1' cichlids at home?
