This was posted on another website forum I frequently visit. I thought this would be a great discussion on FHcraze to be involved in. Also for learning for all us flowerhorn lovers.

Many folks in the traditional cichlid hobby - including me - know very little about flowerhorns and other types of hybrid cichlids.
This lack of knowledge has led some to disparage and look down on flowerhorns, while it has led some (like me) to want to learn more.
The "big names" of the cichlid hobby are folks like Ad Konings, Paul Loiselle, and Wayne Leibel.
Who are some luminaries in the flowerhorn hobby who could be good "ambassadors" to the flowerhorn hobby?
Who among them could possibly present or write an article for traditional cichlid people (in the US) on such topics as:
- development of flowerhorns and other hybrid strains,
- different kinds of flowerhorns and how to tell them apart,
- what makes a good flowerhorn
- show judging classes & standards,
- flowerhorn maintenance and breeding
- responsible flowerhorn breeding and sales
