For those using a mirror to enhance the flowerhorn's nuchal hump, when is the best time doing it?
Is it best using the mirror before or after meals? & how long should the mirror be used?
 
No offenc to anyone that does it, but I just think it causes unnecessary stress to the fish so I have and will never do it, again no offence intended to those that choose to do it

Sorry but is this your own experience or you many other, as i always do it
It give me great results for kok size and make the fish give it's best colors

for me i use for 30 to 45 min day after day and no matter before or after meal
 
I stick a mirror in with mine before feeding for about 15 mins, 3-4 times a week.

For some reason, the fh isn't responding to its own reflection..
Could it be that my fh is female?

Females will fight their own reflection as well, it just depends on an individual fish, some will stick fighting the reflection, some will fight it for some time and quit, some will not even entertain the idea.
