Hi all,
I just pick up 2 FH fry around 1-2inch ,2 months old
And I am new in flowerhorn
Can anyone give me some advise please
Temperture: when I got them from the LFS ,they are in 26c ,if that too low should I raise up to 28?
Feeding: what can best feed those fry now to grow them a bit faster? Now feeding NLS small fish formula pic below
Tank divder: they are in a 30gal tank together now, no flight or nipping at the moment ,do I need to divide them now or when should I need to??

Last thing can anyone confirm what Kind of FH are they ?male or female?pics below , they mention they are red Dragon, but not sure myself , last two are the dad and mum
Thanks everyone

Too early to tell for the sex of this fry. The NLS is a good starter food, as much as possible try pellets then in few weeks maybe introduce blood worm but don't over feed. Red dragon tend to bloat so don't over feed. If that's a black background maybe change it too so its less stress for them. Try to read the stick infos in the forum you can learn a lot from it. Congrats on your new flowerhorn.

The parents are proof of it. Jus make sure the water is pristine and clean coz they tend to react when the ammonia and nitrates are high.
