looks like a red dragon, very nice looking. weekly water changes and hikari gold food will do him well. good luck

Wow!!! you did a great job by picking him up... really nice fish, looks like a Kamalau to me.


Cheers.

 

[garciahex]

thank you.
I will post more pictures and videos when in a couple days when he settles down. I wanted to also get a female but in a 75 gallon tank I think wont be a good idea.

Nice flowerhorn.

What would be the recommended size tank for a male and female flowerhorn.

 

[Armand]

If you want to keep them together for life I'd say you'd need at least a 120 gal arranged in a way that you could easily put an splitter.

Another tank would be advisable if you have them spawning in some point you'll need to put the male apart.



Cheers.

well for now it will be by itself. just to be sure, the flowerhorn on the video is male right?

 

[Armand]

Im pretty sure he's a male kamalau flower horn.
