“For goldfish, that probably doesn’t matter because all they do is swim around and feed in a school, but for a cichlid, that has a complicated social behaviour, it’s probably pretty bad.” Letting them roam free is certainly not a preferable option.

There are also endless new trends for Bradshaw to keep up with.

It was like a sickness. He bought it, brought it home, and introduced it to Francine. “One of the most remarkable features in our domesticated races,” he writes, “is that we see in them adaptation, not indeed to the animal’s or plant’s own good, but to man’s use or fancy”. Mullen had never had a particular purpose or reason for doing what he was doing on YouTube; just like flowerhorn, he kept evolving with what everybody wanted. Frank was only two years old and Mullen was pretty sure of his prognosis: he was terminal.One day in late October when Mullen came into his gallery, Frank was facing head down with his lips touching the bottom of the tank. It is a man-made carnivore, a hybrid, created around 20 years ago in Southeast Asia, whose popularity, thanks to the internet, and social media in particular, is now growing around the world.

The flowerhorn has been made popular by the internet but it has also been made by it, and in record time. Flowerhorn develop fast and change considerably before reaching maturity and, for males, a size of roughly 12 to 14 inches at around 10 months, and though this fish was a juvenile he could see its colour was wan, it had a distended belly, a small nuchal hump and the line of black flowers along its side was jagged and patchy. “There’s points for pearl, points for colour, points for shape, points for the head, points for the fin shape or tail shape.” She mentions, as do others, one particularly rare fish, a “golden monkey”, that was reputed to have sold at a Malaysian exhibition for $600,000 [£462,000], though it seems to be yet another tale drifting around the internet without any clear factual anchorage. He’d smile and pose for photos with fans but inside he’d be saying, over and over, “I want to go home”.

He’d smiled. He asked that they respond to any other fish picture, anywhere online, with a simple comment: ““For some reason when you say Frank the flowerhorn it makes me so incredibly happy"Initially, Siamese fighting fish attracted Bradshaw to the hobby. He started to realise there was a community of people on YouTube just like him, and decided he should take it more seriously. Mullen explained to him about the flowerhorn cichlid, that it is a living creature that has been designed by humans. Mullen came in to his gallery and found Frank floating at the top of the water, completely stillAt first he didn’t feel that different, he was just worried about what his viewers would think.

Joey often posts popular videos which are mostly about aquatic vlogging, that also includes aquarium DIYs and fish care tutorials. Because there are no text books, she has learned what she has needed to through the internet, and the proliferating varieties of flowerhorn are overwhelming: there are some with big nuchal humps, some with small; some with hard nuchal humps, some with soft; some fish that turn black when they’re juvenile, and then change again into bright reds and yellows; some that are covered in iridescent pearls; some that are completely blue. When he got Frank the flowerhorn, another shift in the evolution of the King of DIY occurred. In addition, Joey has also published a DIY handbook about building aquariums.Most popular with the name,  “King of DIY”, Joey often makes videos which are quite helpful for craft ideas. "When they came in they were so beautiful to look at that I fell in love with them"There are plenty of low and average-grade flowerhorn in circulation, but there is also a higher-grade market for “masterpiece” or “VIP” fish, though it may take an expert to know the difference. You’ll also find other issues like the gill cover, which may be undersized or missing altogether, so the gills may be over-exposed and unable to transport oxygen over them. She had also by now reached sexual maturity and, happily, the pair had not killed each other; not long after, Mullen heard that Francine had laid eggs and the male flowerhorn had fertilised them.

There are tricks to making your flowerhorn look more impressive: showing them a mirror twice a day to increase their testosterone is said to increase the size of their nuchal humps, as is a high-protein diet. This content is imported from Instagram.

“You’ve got the purists who are very much about conserving blood lines and conserving species; the idea that these tainted bloodlines are floating around within the hobby is a real hazard for them.

A new fish variety can thrive or fail according to the online community’s response: “They developed a long-fin flowerhorn but no one liked it,” says Bradshaw.
