Keo Malavong's Flowerhorns with pictures

Prologue. Keo used to work for us a decade or so ago. He’s recently gone a little nuts for flowerhorns. He has some choice ones in his home, and plans to breed them and become an International Flowerhorn Magnate. Well, he’s off to a good start. Here’s some of his flowerhorns (with some of my comments thrown in for free). LA

LA
Choice eight-inch female with belly full of eggs. No breeding tube showing. Color a bit yellow due to excess food in the water. His foods contain anthaxanthin which enhances red coloration. However, he overfed so much that his water turned yellow.

LA
Same fish much closer to the front glass, so her colors are truer here. She has not dropped her breeding tube yet.

LA
Obvious male in same tank looks smaller due to cropping that includes his fin extensions. He's really just a smidge larger than her. He's moved nearly all the gravel from his under gravel filter plate.

LA
He's showing much truer colors here because he's closer to the front glass. Too bad that he was turning as this picture snapped. Would you believe it took nearly 30 tries to come up with these four pictures?

LA
This 18-inch Jardini arowanna insisted on posing, So I took his picture.

LA
Keo says he's five or six years old and was raised in an indoor pond.

LA
Keo's also expecting to breed his discus.

One-Week Break. At this point my camera’s battery ran out. I forgot to charge it last night. It snaps hundreds of pictures, but it insists on an occasional recharging. So we drove across town and tried to go to lunch at the Lucky Dragon. They’re closed Tuesdays, so we lunched at Pho Hadao where I tried their papaya bubble tea.. Thanks for buying my lunch, Keo. We then walked over to the Double Dragon market. I filled a small basket with some tasty looking Oriental foods and headed home. LA

Two Weeks Later (Feb 28, 2006). Alright, so it took a little longer than expected. We took a couple hundred pictures and winnowed them down to a few dozen. I’ll include the pictures and Keo will give me their names (since I have no clue what each variant is called). Two positives: 1) Keo cleaned most of his tank fronts; and 2) Keo now knows how to take pictures with his own digital camera (thanks to LA’s five-minute camera course).

Epilog. Well, Keo never gave me their names, so I'm posting his flowerhorns without their names. Go to KEO II for more flowerhorn pix and comments. LA
