HOW much time would it take for this 6INCH FH to grow to a 10INCH FH,,,, if i continue feeding this FH the same.......(6 MONTHS ????)
:chillpill:

1. FROZEN BW
2. DRIED SHRIMPS
3. FROZEN SAUSAGES (My FH loves them)
4. HEAD ENHANCER
5. COLOUR ENHANCER
6. DRIED WORMS

REPLY WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE RAPID GROWTH
 
It all varies on the fish itself, the water quality, the temperature, and the size of your tank. A flowerhorn can be 10" in a year old, some can take 3-5 years to even reach 10".
And please avoid the frozen sausage, your just shortening your fish lifespan. Keep with the frozen sausage and your fish wouldn't make it to a year and a half I guarantee you. Any type of sausage contains fat, and fat does not digest very well in cold blood animals. I'm telling you, your going to kill your fish only...

Agreed. Avoid all mammal meat for flowerhorns.

BTW Voyager. You are starting to bombard us with questions again. I suspect you will get more response if you actually consider more thoughtfully the questions you want to ask, and then put them all in ONE thread.

wotever u ppl say and however funny it seems,,,,, i started giving them these sausages from an advice from my pet store itself..... they recommend this to everyone here........

and lemme be serious,,,,,, my FH reallllly loves them more than anything else put in the tank..........
nywy u may b rite in the fat digestion part of the FH.....

mr. hamfist & mr. honda........
would be combining all the questions to one thread,,, as u said .......
SORRY for the difficulty causd
 
you should be able to get 4 inches in 6 months easy if the fish is genetically inclined .
i don't like the sausage diet either . and i have no idea what is "head enhancer " or "color enhancer " . just get the best quality pellets you can get in uae and supplement with the worms and shrimp . also change the water alot , at least 50 % every week . twice a week is better if your feeding alot .
good luck and by the way i've been to dubai a couple times it was a trip !

Flowerhorn Tricks is Grandsumo or SP 100 pellets. Meal worms, Constantly water change and big tank. Feed them Guppies once in a months same as meal worms. Make sure to add salt every week when you change 25% of the water.
