Thanks Ihsnshaikh for the answer....
How big kok can be expected from this one
Also I have put this one in a 75 Gallon tank with water temp set to 85 Fahrenheit.
Also when I got it from my local store the color of my FH was very dull, the reds and blacks were not so bright. But after 2 days in my tank the fish looks dark with red and black being more defined. What can be the reason for the same ?

Thanks for your inputs guys.
I have now got a short-body female for my FH, and as I am new to FH I introduced her directly in the tank with the male, she was scared at first and was trying to hide herself even the male was inquisitive and was following her casually later on he began to chase her ferociously, Hence I divided the tank and kept them apart. The male looked too aggressive and kept banging the glass partition. Next day the female looked calm and is moving in its partition also the male is looking less aggressive. I can see tubes hanging out from both.
Do you think they are ready to pair ?
Is this a normal behavior ?
Please share some insights how to pair them.
I have attached a few pics let me know if they are of right size to pair.

Yes pheromones were releases by the females which triggers males behavior into spawning mode. Wait a little bit until her tube is completely down and put a pot in the tank. Remove divider and have them lay eggs. Keep an eye out on male and put a place where the female can run into hiding and male can't...
I removed the glass divider after a weeks time. Both were dancing and lip locking but after a few hours the male got aggressive and was attacking the poor female, Hence I decided to part them again....Please advise what needs to done to pair them.
CZ majestic is for red color and two tone golden based fish. That product isn't designed to help with pearls. Also CZ majestic is covered in a thick layer of power pink which is incredibly unhealthy for any fish. I would stay away from that product.
Flower horns can be very difficult to breed, especially if you have an aggressive male. Your best chance at breeding is to wait until the females tube has dropped down about 1/4 of an inch and then as she is beginning to rub her stomach on a surface in the tank that indicates that she is usually only minutes or hours away from dropping eggs. When you see this behavior pull the divider and watch them very closely for fighting. If the female is ready to lay she won't put up with any aggression from the male and typically she will hold her ground to lay eggs. If your male patrols the area and isn't attacking the female thats a good sign.
