i feed mine these, and i was told so by a cichlid specialist, they should eat veg aswell, like cucumber and letus.
but all of the above i stated are right, this is what i do and i have really healthy fish!
it is better to have healthy fish by feedin natural protiens and vitimins that supliments like in the cichlid food.
no offence or nothing RD. but we are both right!
Depends on what your plan is with the fish. Most people dont have the space to let a dozen flowerhorns grow up a little to see their potential so you know how much they are worth on the market. Because eventually they will start eliminating each other in confined space. Id say pick you favorite male, and sell or cull the rest. The decision of when is up to you, Id advise when they start crowding the tank and nipping eachothers fins they need seperated. An LFS would probably take them for $5 a peice at the size they are now if your lucky.
