Golden Monkey flowerhorn fish - Popular cichlids fish
Golden Monkey Flowerhorns look nothing like monkeys. Instead, they are super colorful and vibrant – complete with a prominent nuchal hump.
Unlike Kamfa and Zhen Zhu, Golden Monkeys don’t come from a mixed bloodline. Instead, they are the original Louhan-based fish.
They have muscular bodies with thick chins and hardtails at the end.
As juveniles, Golden Monkey looks rather drab with brown and silver linings. But as they grow, they develop stunning red and silver patterns in the upper half of their body.
Also lovingly known as Good Fortune, Golden Monkey cichlids were first bred by Lam Soon and Lam Seah in Malaysia. After producing three successful generations, they were all sold to A-1 Aquarium in 2001.
Given their unparalleled beauty and rarity, these fish come with hefty price tags of more than a thousand dollars.
In fact, one particular Golden Monkey was sold for over $600,000 in Malaysia in 2006!
