Flowerhorn - Flower Horn Fish is basically from the Cichlid family, which is classified under the genus of Cichlasoma, which is commonly found in South America. This beautiful hybrid is thought to be the end product of cross breeding between the Cichlasoma Trimaculatus, Cichlasoma Festae, Jingang Blood Parrot, and etc. To date, a lot of better quality Flower Horn has been produced due to the intensified eagerness of breeders to produce the best show quality fish for the market.
The secret to making the head size huge and giving it a nice shape is feeding it with quality flower-horn food. Many people use Angel Drops VITA. Its a vitamins for all tropical and ornamental fish. It promotes spawning, health, coloration. Helps in the water conditioning, increases vitality and the most important of all, it stimulates appetite. The quicker you fish increase its body mass, the bigger its head or hump becomes. Another thing that you can use is put a picture of another flower-horn outside of the fish tank. You may ask, what is that going to do? Well, flower-horn is an aggressive fish. You cannot put 2 mature flower-horns in the same aquarium or else it will fight. By putting an image of another flower-horn, it excites the fish and it releases enzymes that will help in its coloration and will increase the flower horn's head size. Try to put few guppies in the aquarium so that your flower horn will have something to chase or play. Oh and another thing, try to give him worms which you can buy in any pet shop. It has alot of proteins that will also become a big factor in increasing your flower horns head size. Hope this helps, Mari
