Planning to buy a flowerhorn
- Thread starter Ruturaj
- Start date
How I fed my flowerhorn was 2-3 times a day as a juvenile and 1-2 as an adult. And the stomach should be slightly plump by the end of the day and no more. Also as an adult I would give 1-2 days of the week to fast which I think it very important to rest there digestive system.
At 4 inches, he's juvenile right? I am feeding him 2 times, 10 x 3mm pallet each time. I just fed him hikari algae water which is pretty big compared to regular pallets. As soon as gets over 8 inches, he is going to get fed only once. I am thinking about fasting him, may be tomorrow.
Yeah he is considered juvenile I wouldn’t fast him just yet but maybe only feed him once tomorrow.
Yeah 8+ would be approaching adult size. Around a year old flowerhorn would be considered an adult I suppose.
He is getting more and more beautiful! Love the short face, boxy body, color, and those fins! Those fins and tail are WOW! The kok is definitely progressing! Kamfas develop kok slowly. He’s gonna be a stunner for sure!
I fast mines for one day a week even at that size. Makes them feisty as all hell and even though it may seem counterproductive it actually brings out the kok. You’ll see it the day after when you feed again.
