Best pellet for flowerhorn

Just go with the floating

I went with the NLS floating. I'll update after a few feedings to see how much he likes it. Plan on using that for staple and red parrot+ occasionally too.

Mix of those would be good for his color and health.

Please let us know how it goes regarding floating.
My FH is a little derp when it comes to sinking pellets.

I fed NLS floating formula to one of my midas for years. I think my FH all ate sinking formulas, but it's been years and I honestly don't recall. Floating, sinking, nutrition wise it won't make any difference.

The ultra red is $40 and floating is $22. Ultra red is 300g floating is 350g.

If it makes any difference, you can find ultrared for cheap online, I got 300gm for $28 on ebay.

Just an FYI regarding color - most quality foods have plenty enough color enhancing agents in their regular formulas, you really don't need to feed those with "extra" red color enhancing agents. If you do, you should probably be looking closer at the genetics of your fish, than the food you are feeding. Just sayin ......

The Stendker discus in these photos were raised on NLS cichlid formula. Other than some blood worms a couple times a week, they ate NLS cichlid formula exclusively.

Not necessarily. Water changes are dictated by bio-load, so what one feeds, and how much, and how many fish are in a specific volume of water, will be the deciding factor regarding water changes. A local breeder of 40 or so odd years did 50% weekly water changes, once he stopped feeding beef heart. As he said, warm water + beef = beef soup.

The fish below were some of his last Stendker discus that he was raising out on 50% weekly water changes, 100% pellets, before his untimely death. RIP Don.
