i got him since his size to my thumb and now he got around 7"-8" in 5months.
Food:
i feed him 3 times a day since he 2inch and 2 times a day after he got 5 inch, i feed him with Grand sumo pellet daily and some cricket once a week another thing is frozen shrimp 2 time a week. i notice to feeding it at night time before the light goes off is develope the head kok very well, find the food contain ingedrient : astathanxin, spirolina, xanthopyll, beta-carotine(vitamin a) know as help colore.and head shape.
water condition:
temperature 80f, change 20% of water once a week and 50%once a month, add 1 table spoon of salt for every 5gallon water tank. filter should have biological media because this fish produce alot of waste ammonia and messy eating.
light:
open 8 hour at day and close at night, the benifit is to make the fish feeling to the day and night time cycle, fish need to sleep at night, dont put the tank direct in to the sunlight it can cause algea problem in the tank.
tank size:
48"×18"×21" tank size is my experience to growth up my flowerhorn fish with very nice shape and faster, for 36"×18"×18" is minimum.i recomment 75gallon at least to make them happy and full growth.
tank envirment;
do not place the tank in the crowding place if possible or can not reach from ur dog or cat it can cause seriuos stress and develope to the sickness.
english is my 2nd languege,apologize for many wrong word.
