i like him alot...

do you keep them in a divided tank like that permanently? do you see a difference in their quality when they are kept alone?

Thanks! I'm planning on keeping one in that tank and moving one to my 75gal. I have heard that FH show their color/kok better when they are in a divided tank with a similar sized fish. I had my other king kamfa in the tank before I got this one, and he lost his color. When I moved him into his own tank, it came back. I'm trying to sell him now so I can move this tan king to the 75gal...I guess it depends on the fish.

yea i was thinking about dividing a 90G so i can have 2 FHs but that's only going to give them 45G each.

How big are the FH? I have seen multiple fish in divided tanks all doing well. I personally want to have one per tank, but I have also been told to put more than 1 fish in 1 tank to help them develop faster. There's different opinions on what to do. I guess it also depends on if you are breeding, selling, or keeping the fish.

i only have one right now that's about 5". once i set up the 90 i'll think about getting another one and test it out.

I think 2 in a 90 will be ok as long as the fish are close in size. If not, the less dominant one will not show it true potential.

nice fish bro. Kamfas are very nice fish and king kamfa are one of my favroties. I wish I had more. Yours has great potential too. He has a nice hump and a body for a kamfa, breed him!
