Flowerhorn Care

Flowerhorn fish care is quite simple when they are kept alone. However, careful and attentive care is required to maintain the striking colors and health of these fish. Paying attention to the water conditions, nutrition and general health of fish allows them to live a long and healthy life.


Production

Flowerhorn production has been a matter of curiosity for many aquarium enthusiasts. For those who want to pass on the colors and characteristics of fish to their offspring, it is important to pay attention to the colors and characteristics of the parent fish. During production, it is necessary to keep the water temperature at 28°C and the pH level around 7.0. It is important to create hiding places in the aquarium to protect female Flowerhorns from attack by males. Nets dividing the aquarium can separate fish from each other while also encouraging reproduction.


Flowerhorn Varieties

Flowerhorn fish species vary in color and pattern. Sex distinction may not always be clear, especially in young fish. However, the different characteristics of males and females become evident in individuals ready to reproduce.

With special care and attention to these fish, it is possible to maintain their optimum health and color.
