Breeding flowerhorn...mainly female question

[Dieboldly]

So I just bought a red dragon female flowerhorn...least I hope lol. I want to eventually breed her with my male red dragon. I've noticed that the eyes on the female aren't red like my male and I thought I read that red eyes mean fertile? Is this true? Any help would be nice thanks

eye color doesn't really seem to matter for females

Okay so hopefully she lays eggs then ha

She should. Usually with flowerhorns it's the male that could be sterile. Just let them get used to one another and wait till her tube drops to try to remove divider.

That's because she's a Kamfa not a ZZ

That's what I thought!!! I was looking up the differences and I was totally thinking she was a kamfa! So I'm excited lol

So watch for the tube. Anything else I should know? I've seen people put clay pots down too...what size is usually recommended?

Males can take up to two years if they're kamfas to be mature. Females are usually okay.

All I know is my female ZZ breeds at 1.5" lol

Well the male should be a red dragon and I think the female is kamfa
