What You Feed The Flowerhorn Affects Its Growth.


A Healthy Environment Means A Healthy Flowerhorn

The water quality inside the tank plays a gigantic part in the health of the fish. When feeling your fish do not neglect to remove leftover foodstuff that will contaminate your water in a hurry. Carrying buckets every week can become draining after a while, so we suggest using a product like the Python water changing kit to make water changes a little bit more convenient.

25 Foot - Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Maintenance System
  • Will not disturb fish or decor during routine aquarium maintenance.
  • Adapts easily to most faucets.
  • Complete ready-to-use system.



 Wider Longer Tanks Produce Larger Fish.

When a fish in confined in a small space, they tend to only grow to a size which the tank allows them to. If a Flowerhorn is packed into a small tank, it will affect its growth. Limited amounts of space and exercise stunt its growth which also prevents the nuchal hump from reaching its full size. A tank at least three feet in length is deemed ideal for a single adult Flowerhorn to thrive. Don’t put a Flowerhorn in any aquarium less than 55 gallons! If you are in need of a new aquarium and have a limited budget check out the following kit.

  • KIT INCLUDES: one 55 gallon tank, EasyBalance Plus, TetraMin, AquaSafe, 6" fish net, 200W heater, WPF 60 Filter, Stick on digital thermometer, 24" Tetra hinged hood x 2, 2 plant multipacks and a boxwood plant, TetraCare brochure and instruction sheet.

However a few words of caution! I would buy the largest aquarium I could afford or had space for at my house within reason. If you could comfortably get a 125-gallon aquarium then I would do it. When you love fish you easily run out of space to keep them all so get a LARGE AQUARIUM.
