Planning to buy a flowerhorn

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
He is pretty, nice pearls! The delay in shipping does suck though. I’m glad he came in looking much better than my fish though!

Your fish had to endure the cold for 3 days, mine came in with heat pack and warm water.

overall quality compared to how mine is even now seems to be better though, he looks relatively healthy for just coming in though
 
Still keeping his eat spit eat routine. Gets spooky when I get near tank wearing a white shirt, red and black are good so far. Flowerline goes and comes back, so not completely settled yet.

Give him time, he'll come around, that's a long trip he recently made. Besides stabilizing your water parameters as relates to another thread, I would suggest to give him some shelter, cave or plants where he can go to relax. I make simple and safe shelters with things like smooth vases or glass jars plus plastic cutting boards lol. Not going to win any TOTM contests but they're effective and it's clear my FH appreciates his little pad.

Btw, can see in last photo yours has got some nice and proper Kamfa wrap-around tail fins. :thumbsup:

Man that’s a beautiful fish! Looks like the kok is just starting to come back out. Who ever helped you pick that beauty out deserves a pat on the back. Good eye!
