1. What is Kamfa F2?
Kamfa F2 is the second-generation Flowerhorn, bred from Kamfa F1 x Kamfa F1 parents. Compared to F1, Kamfa F2 shows better genetic stabilization, although variations in head growth (kok), body shape, and coloration still exist within the same batch.
Kamfa F2 is popular among hobbyists because:
-
More affordable than Kamfa F0–F1

Still has strong potential for head growth and pearling if selected properly
-
Suitable for both intermediate hobbyists and breeding farms
