sumit das - 2009-10-03 Hi, I recently bought a flower horn. It is now in a 72 inch tank with 2 red devils, 1 salvini, and 1 convict and they all are doing great. Initially the big red devil took a fight with the fh, but after some jaw locking they are fine now. I really enjoy my new priced possession.

santosh - 2010-07-19 How much is the cost for whole arrangement. I want good flowerhorn, where can I get it.
raghu - 2011-08-09 Dear Santhosh, Fish keeping is wonderfull hobby up on that cost of the fish vary breed - breed and its natives. If you are eyeing on the cost and looking for a good fish then your lane is narrow. To get a good flower horn fish its difficult but not impossble. I'd say I'm the luckiest to have such a beautifull flower horn and it has more qualities than i have ever seen.
Hemant - 2008-06-30 I have a flowerhorn, very hungry all the time, he wags his tail like a dog when he sees me with a bottle of his food. In one day, he consumed food plus 12 guppy fish which I added to the aquarium, with a lot of hiding places. The poor guppies were terrified and behaved like deer in the presence of a predator. I however fail to know why they did not hide in the narrow mouth cave, which I created for them.

santosh - 2010-07-19 Brother I have a flowerhorn fish indian breed, I bought it for rs200. It's too lazy and going and sitting in the corner. Only live fish it is eating, but not pellets. Help me

raghu - 2011-08-09 Dear Hemant --- Do not feed your fish pellets and live fish at a time as it could lead to stomach problems. The same here my beautifull fish is an imported one. He is hyper agressive,very responding, colourfull and when ever I pick up his food from the shelf I feel he is going jump out of his tank snatch the food from my hand. I feed him humy head ocean free only pellets medium and 10 grains in the morning and 10 grains in the night. I give a gap of 12 hrs for the feeding.

rohit - 2010-07-07 Your flower horn is just growing its just the flowerhorns genes which is making it change no need to worry.
junkie - 2010-12-01 Actually, there are many things needed by the FH. One, the FH need a heater to make a well developed hump on it's head. Set it up to 28 degrees C. Secondly, FH need good food also like "HUMPY HEAD (feeds)", "LIVE WORMS (worms for the FH)" and small fishes and other feeds for their pearls and color. Last, just observe and be patient. If your FH is aggressive, it means it's body is on the right condition.
Dragon - 2011-04-22 Is he eating? If he is eating, he will be fine.
raghu - 2011-08-09 Hello Dana. I think a photo would be preferrable of your fish to judge. And please keep an eye on your fish and its water parameters. Never ever put the heater of and its filtration should be working. don't try any feeder fish please continue with the pellets and if possible earth worms as a treat.
luqmanul hakim - 2010-06-05 Last afternoon I brought home one young majestic lou han, a hybrid species. I named it vector, because in the pet shops earlier he had a huge appetite. I take a closer look for it and finally I choose it. Furthermore it has a long marking. I hope it become a male lou han because there was a theory that says, " some fishes in young are male " I was really support this. And I just planning that I'd more likely to breed flowerhorn cichlid.
hector - 2010-05-01 I have the pet named PAX, I'm still not sure if its a male or female... may I ask anyone if its natural for the flowerhorns to have little sharp teeth?
Asian Fisherman5893 - 2008-10-16 Yesterday I bought a Flower horn which was labeled a Trimac Cichlid but still is cool. Yesterday it started biting the fins off of my Clown Knife fish! So I putted the Clown back into a smaller tank in the community tank to relax and not fear being fin bitten again! Still the Flowerhorn is awesome and cool. It's in the tank with two of my Oscars which have so far been doing good
The striking and unique Flowerhorn Cichlid hybrid is a gorgeous way to make a statement and get that "Wow!" factor in your aquarium!
