1st flowerhorn

Well now you just look for a male that is slightly larger then her (Males of good quality have a kok and are typically much thicker then females, not to confuse you but females of high quality can also have a kok but its usually not that large compared to the males.) Then you divide the tank in half with a drilled piece of plexi glass and put the male on one side and the female on the other. After they get used to seeing each other you put the base of a clay pot in the tank, remove the divider, and then see if they will breed for you.

+1 and i recommend u breed it with a red dragon fh. good luck.

Well its not bad thats its a female. If it turns out to be a stunner you can fetch a high price near or maybe even over 500 usd. Females with qualities of a male are way more expensive than males due to the new opportunities for breeding. Having a big kok, color, body shape in the female makes her more desired than a male with those features so dont be bummed its a female. Females can also have the traits that males carry which make then 100 times more wanted rather than a male.

from what i know, u need a divider, remove it when they start to like each other. also put some rocks and a pot for the female to lay her eggs in.
