Maybe off topic but I have question because I see those tanks a lot. Is that his permanent home? If so why do you keep them in those small tanks with zero gravel, no decor, and a divider?

It is my breeding set up, 130gal maybe small to some, but they have plenty of room. Divider is so they don't kill eachother. No gravel because I find extra food gets hidden in the gravel, this way I can tell when I have over fed and clean thoroughly.

Does not look like tank is small for them , and maybe he likes his tank bare.

But if he don't know what gravels and decors can do, he should ask now.

Is there an importance to gravel and decor when raising flowerhorns?

Nice pickup, monster kok on that guy. Is his kok textured?I also like that female. She has a thick body and tight lips. Personally I usually have substrate in my tank for aesthetics, and gives them something to do when in not around, rearranging rocks, digging, etc. True though it also traps dirt and such. I just use a thin siphon to remove poo daily. It usually take a couple if mins that's it. I think it's personal preference substrate wise because I've seen fish thrive both ways substrate or not. Cheers.

Substrate is like Media. Do you know what medias in filters do?

Yes, I have a few lava rocks in there that were used in another tank. Will lava rocks have the same effect?

Yeah it is textured. I got really lucky with the female, paid less than $5.00. I agree, I have just over 10 tanks up and running so no substrate makes it a bit easier to manage.

If you have enough filtration then having a bare tank is never an issue. So if have a decent amount of filtration substrate isnt needed. All my tanks are bare and i havent ever had a problem with keeping levels at 0 excluding nitrate. BB will only grow in areas where theres water flow so i wouldnt worry too much, throwing in another blotch of media in the filter should compensate for the missing substrate. nice fh's btw
