How to maintain MONSTER KOK

[Yumu]

I broke down recently and bought a red dragon with a nice size kok. My question is, other then good water and variety in diet how can I maintain his big head?

foods high in fat and a pH range around 7.0-7.8 is said to help..also, check the hybrid section under flowerhorns and you may find more useful info

Heres a good website and general info for FHs

oh yeah, I have also heard placing a mirror up to the tank will help maintain/increase the kok too

Temporarily, yes.. but not permanent.. If it has big kok genes, then you just need to maintain good water parameter with pH around 7.5~8 & feed good quality pellets..
