The genuine Golden Monkey (also called Good Fortune) or Kamalau was bred by Mr. Lam Seah and Lam Soon in Bercham, Ipoh, Malaysia. After the third generation, all of them were sold to the A-1 Aquarium in 2001. This type of flowerhorn is an original Luohan-based fish and not a mixed type Zen Zhu or Kamfa. It can be a particularly expensive flowerhorn, carrying a price tag of more than one thousand dollars. The most expensive Golden Monkey was sold for 600-thousand dollars during a Malaysian exhibition in 2009. General features of GM's are a monkey like appearance when viewed from the front, square bodies, yellow coloration on the body or lower part of the body, strong finnage, and lots or pearling. Kamalau heads can explode but they are not known for having water koks.

Haha nowadays flowerhorns like that mostly from Thailand, and it costs about RM200-500.
