Grand Sumo? Or genetics/high quality water/time?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
He's fertile...they laid the night before I went to Mexico for 5 days. I seperated him into a different tank just in case, and when I came home I found a bunch of wigglers. Updates to come, he's turning into quite the beast.

I have a plan in mind with another female but I need to get those 2 paired up as quickly as possible. I've never had a real "project" so any help or direction would be appreciated, thanks

Congrats man and a very very nice female you got that.
Thanks Chris, I'm really hoping to capture his pearling on her colors, which he has a little bit of already.

Alright he looks alright!, you have a nice pair there.
Thanks Armand!

great pair
Thanks

i like the female. she pretty
Thanks animal guy, I'm really going to cull this batch to only take the cream of the crop since it's my first flowerhorn spawn...
 
Oh yeah, so I have an FX5 running on the tank with the mother and wigglers right now. Instead of shutting down the filter, I was thinking of putting mass sponges on intake and outtake, any thoughts? Also, the water level is pretty low can I add a little bit of water or is that ill-advised considering the wigglers?
 
Definitely add water and a pre filter for the intake is what I do just cut a deep slit in some foam and slip it right over. Really nice fish you have.
 
Very nice pair
You should get some great looking fry.
