Hi guys..am planning to feed my flower horns with food sticks first of all I wanna know is that OK to feed them and which one should I go for ...Does food sticks bring out colors and development in flower horns.

Foods with Astaxanthan will bring out the red color. Foods with shrimp and krill will also bring out the red. Food sticks should be fine as long as they are small, your fish may choke if they are too large. Why not just use a pellet made for cichlids or Flowerhorns?

If you want to give your fish a treat, give him raw cut up market shrimp, the type of shrimp we eat. It's high in protein and a great food for conditioning for breeding.
