Frontosa's are mouth breeders. You will see the female carring the eggs in her mouth.

Feed him good gran sumo pellets and live worms. He will grow soon.

Supplements are good but remember that the size of the Kok (horn) still depends on the genes of the FH.

Taiyo humpy head give this food to that fish then its head grows usually
Brandon Smith - 2011-06-22
The size of your Flowerhorns nuchal hump is mostly determined by its genetics. Feeding high quality pellets such as New Life Spectrum and Hikari Bio-Gold+ will bring it to the maximum size it can reach.

Amir, I totally agree with Shiva, King and Brandon Smith. Even I'm using humpy head for our flower fish. I say it's the happiest. It also depends on the genes of the fish quality and even depends on its sex because males have clearer hump than females.

I have 2 love heart blood parrot in my 55 gal tank. they are shy but not much, they love to irritate my severums. I dont know why they hate severums so much. In the same I have Green terror, blue dolphins, jellybeans etc,but those 2 hate only severums. It's a funny scene how they jointly chase my 2 severums.

I have a female convict, jd and black shark together living peacefully for 3 years. I arranged the decorations so each fish has one half they can chill and not see the other through the giant log and plants and the convict has a small cave to hide

Taking a chance keeping them together. I would move the mother if you want as many as possible to survive.

Do you get albino kenyis?

Tammy - 2012-05-21
I have a 90 gallon tank. I have many chiclids. Two of them are firemouths. They recently had babies. I got a divider to keep the other chiclids away from them. What I am wondering is how much room do I need to give these mom and dad? And how long before the babies are big anough to be with the other fish? And will the mom and dad eat the babies?

Depends on how big the parents are. As long as the fry have places to hide you should be fine. The fry will grow at different speeds so some will be able to move before others.
Jeremy Roche - 2012-10-25
Firemouths are very good parents and will protect the fry from other fish. It really depends how big the Firemouths are on the size needed for them and the fry. I would do no less then 30 gallons since it is just temporary. Depending on the other fish, I would wait till they are not mouth sized treats for the other fish to introduce them.
