My Flower horn progression thread

[Armand]

Hi.

Well at last I had my laptop fixed up so I decided to start a progression thread.

This is my Flower Horn, I have just named him "Acheron", current age 7 months aprox.

Here's the first pict of his when I saw him on line for sale.

Here when he first got home, about 4 weeksa ago:

With flash:

He looked kinda skinny I guess.

Here about 2/3 weeks ago.

And these were taken about 5 days ago:

I guesstimate him to be currently a lil bit more than 6".

He seems to have gained some bulk.

I´m feeding him chingmix headbooster, Azoo pellets for flowerhorn, Wardleys "Advanced Nutrition" cichlid pellets, dryed blood worm and brine shrimp once per week.


You guys let me know what your thoughts are!!!.


Cheers.

looking good, the kok seems to have grown a little.

Looks good and definitely chunked up a lot. I would add some type of food that brings out his red color. Grand sumo red or krill treats.

I'd consider about Grand Sumo, it is only Grand Sumo is expensive as hell...lol!.

Thanks for replyes dudes.

 

[cichlid fiend]

Looks great !

Grand Sumo is expensive but well wroth the $$. If you put him in a bare tank, he might improve even more. More decorations = worse water quality. Also, have you try using the mirror to improve his kok?

I put away most of the gravel it only has some gravel easy to clean every weekend, he has a clay flowerpot with him with those water cleaning plants just, and he has double filtration system. he has a home made inner filter with a 4xh turnover ratio and plus he has one external filter too with 2.5 turnover ratio.

I'll consider the mirror thing up.




Thanks for input and advise lads.


Cheers.

His face turned out sooo long... and his KOK didn't really grow...

 

[Hot Slime]

Definitely give the mirror a try. He thicken up a bit but head and color didn't develope as nice. He looks nice though.

And again with typical MFK bull**** posts. You have no idea as to what you're talking about, and it would be very much appreciated if you didn't spread your biased, baseless opinions as fact. It's that simple. Bare bottom tanks do not necessarily have higher quality water.
