If your fish has KOK potential Chingmix will help bring it out. I have been feeding it for a month now and it works for my FH. I use a variety of pellets and frozen foods along with the Chingmix. I feed 3x a day, chingmix twice and either a pellet or frozen for the third feeding.
i feed mine chingmix, granule, bloodworm for mine. my fh is still young so i dont see any koks. like Danati said if the fish has kok potential the chingmix will grow out the koks. im just feeding mine chingmix cuhz im dont have other food for fh.
i've been using chingmix for quite awhile. my flowerhorn has a decent size nuchal. but then again, i also feed it to my male midas, and it doesn't have a hump. my lfs feeds them to there flowerhorns and they swear it works, there FH have huge humps. so i'd have to agree that it helps out if the potential is there.
Chingmix is very good to enhance the KOK of the FH provide he has good genes. In other words, if his father is a KOKSTER then he should get it. Chingmix will only help bring out his true potential. Chingmix is not a steroid of some sort that will induce KOK to a FH that does not have potential.
Having said that, it is not advisable to make CHINGMIX headbooster as a staple diet to the young fish. Please give a variety of pellets, freeze dried worms or shrimps, frozen bloodworms or shrimps, krill etc. Variety is the spice of life and will bring out the right balance in the Flowerhorn's growth.
Good Luck.
PS: Image below shows what i give to my babies.

so when should we start feeding our FHs chingmix? and assuming that they are older, is chingmix used as a staple then or is it merely a treat?
and DAM thats alot of food! i'm embarrased to show you what i have
I've been feeding grandsumo and hikari bio golds to all my FHs for a long time, and decided to order chingmix(when SP80 first came out) just to add to the staple. After about 4-5 weeks of feeding them, I noticed negative results(less feeding response, colors becoming dull, head not as full and bursting looking before, and feces was not as solid and became stringy) Getting them to accept chingmix was hard as well(chingmix is the worst tasting fish food for fish I've encountered) So I stopped using them, and after about two to three weeks, things became normal.
People who uses them swear by them. It might be because their FHs were............ juvies(obviously improving as they grow), just got them not long ago to know their look when 100%, The FHs are low grades and hence ANY slight improvement on head and pearls is very noticeable(again, this might naturally happen on your any normal pellet diet), or was being fed with inferior or less nutritious diet than Chingmix. I've had my FHs for a while(some are/were full grown), and knew when they were at their 100% in looks. When they are at their 100% with your current diet with FIXED environment without any changes but the food, and then try out the new diet for them. This will show whether that food is better, worse, or similar as the current diet you were using.
This is just my PERSONAL opinion and experience about Chingmix. I say try it out for yourself and decide. For those of you who already has been using chingmix as a staple for a long time, try other pellets to see if that improves anything. That will be a good test as well.
