Australia-1st Kamfa Malau Progression

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Woot i love watchih him feed...throwing in about 5 pellets...3 times a day...not to overfeed...

And chris...your very right. However... I wont keep the female in his tank...after breeding. She will be in a friends 55 gallon...keeping male and female stresses the male...especially if they keep seeing each.other with divider ...its not good. I will keep female only when breeding ...
Actually, I was referring to any aggression issues during breeding- and possible "space" requirements for most safely managing that.
but the FH people here would know more about it...
Glad you're in the right place!
 
My flowerhorn as I got him was around 12cm... and is showing his breeding tube alot... someone said my fish was stunted? wtf? I find that very hard to believe....

Can someone please confirm? The picture is on the first page.

I don't really see a physical reason to say it stunted. Maybe they think that because of it being a short body? Do you know how old it is?
 
I was told he is 5-6 months old...and hes around 13-14cm mark...

The guy who told me is not really a proper fish keeper but just keeps FH for commercial reason.. I HONESTLY think hes talking out of his arse... cause the pictures I put are of DETAIL... and the members of this forum, would have told me this instantly! So I got no idea where he got it from

He told me:

Your fh to long to be short body
Your fh fins are not proportionate
Your FH looks stunted


Lol...the main sign of stunted growth is eyes, and mine look fine.

Unless MFK says its stunted...haters can keep talking..and yes hes in Australia. :)
 
your fh is fine..as mentioned above there are quite a few shortbodys in the market now..bodylength varies..the bonsai is probably the smallest in length..yours is a shortbody kamfa malau..he is healthy,i dont see signs of stunting..tell the fellow to join mfk..maybe we can teach him something.

Thanks bro! Yeah those pearls cost me the money mainly... I was more of a color person.. "whoo i want a pink purple flowerhorn" lol..he was saying... "color on FH can be gotten through basic breeding..pearl work takes tons of breeding to get..."

However, I am now on a mission to find a high grade female for him...im thinking Thai Silk or Red Dragon... any suggestions? :D
