Hi everyone I just got my first aquarium and would like some pointers as to how to raise my little flowerhorn Any tips and tricks will help!
I do have some questions too,
1) What kind of flowerhorn do I have?
2) Is it necessary to decorate the tank with rocks, plants and etc?
3) My fish aren't eating what should I do?
Well, the first thing to know is if the tank is cycled and how large is it. Probably 99% of fish death with someone new to the hobby is not having their tank properly cycled. I know it's exciting to set up a tank and put in fish right away but that would just lead to massive death of the fish. You ask what kind of flowerhorn you have but than said that your fish aren't eating. Does that mean that you have more than just 1 fish. Flowerhorns are very aggressive and are usually kept by themselves. Most hobbylist have some kind of gravel or decorations but alot of people with flowerhorns keep it bare-bottom with just a few pebbles so the tank would be easy to clean. Also, in order to properly cycle your tank, get a good quality water tester like the API Master Tester for Freshwater. Don't get the test strips because they can be very inacurrate. How long have you had your fish and what kind are they? If the tank is properly cycled, not over-crowded, fish that are compatible then maybe just turn down the light a little to get them more comfortable and let them fast for a couple days and try feeding them again. Trust me, we've all been down this road. Good luck.
