hello everyone
new here and just got my 1st flowerhorn 3 days ago. just wondering if i got a good deal for it and what grade/type it is i paid $70 for it in ny
Looks like a great deal! I wont grade cus I think its kinda ridiculous but I guy is selling a very similar one in my area ( a little nicer looking) for 300 so I say good pickup!
Mid to high grade pick up. On a scale of 10 I would rate it a 6-7 which is pretty freaking great. Nice body shape, double flower line, nice proportional kok, nice fins, only negative is color but I'm sure its just a bit stressed and when it settles down I'm sure it will pop!
Oh by looking at the picture it might have some sort of internal parasite (most likely hex). Its a bit bloated so using a medication such as pazipro in a week or two when its fully settled will ensure a long and healthy life. I personally dont like using epson salt as its a bit harsh on them but it is very effective. Do you mind me asking if the tank is cycled?
