Flowerhorn 4 months in small tank!! Too late???

[Jdvirus]

Hi guys. I have 3 flowerhorn stocked in a 5inchx12x12 tank for almost 4 months. And just a few days ago i transfered them in a 36inchx18x18 tank. Is it too late for them to grow?

No. Never too late til tbey are dead

I'd say yes, once stunted, if they are, they'll stay like that. However, there is no reason they won't be healthy and live a full life if subsequently cared for adequately.

Though is that trolling, a 5 inch aquarium?

Its a 25inch aquarium with a division. 5 inch space every division. Oh. Im sorry my beloved fishes. One of them was so wonderful. The forward part color is red and the aft part is pinkish. I wonder what type is it. The thing is his head didn't grow as much as his brother in the bigger tank

Ok AG that one brought tears to my eyes! Possibly a bit harsh but I reckon warranted given how those fish are being kept. JDvirus I'm sure your fish appreciate your clearly heartfelt apology but you can't expect 3 FH's in even a 36" (let alone a 24") tank to thrive, each should have its own of that size or bigger.

that is absolutely false

If given proper to natural space/environment they'll still grow even they are stunt for a whole year in a small tank if there are more years in them to live. That's a fact.

Original poster of this post can soon prove that.

They will not grow to their full potential. But yes, they will grow some
