WARM TEMP IN FLOWER HORN TANK

[RobD23]

will temperatures around 82-84 be bad for my flower horn....I have him with two peacock bass who prefer warm water so should i drop the temp? I don't know if it's the temperature however, number one it's colour is amazing these days and number two it scratches once and a while ususally at night time...possibly because the light has heated the water so much...i don't know what to do

I have my male and female flowerhorn at about 80-81 degrees and they are doing fine. The female lays eggs every once in a while so she must like it. No babies though I have to use a divider, otherwise the male tears her up.

flowerhorns actually like high temperatures. 82 should be fine.

my temps are between 83 and 85

yes, warmer is better! it will speed up their metabolism too, so they eat more, and grow more quickly

normally high temp of 82-85 makes fh metabolism faster... appetite, growth, coloration plus it hasten growth of bad bacterias in the tank. sharing my experience...
