Stunning your flowerhorn???

[Aquanero]

Stunting a fish is not suggested nor reccommended. It is cruelty to the fish. I would not do it, if you cant be happy with it how it is and how it will be than you should not get the fish at all. The fish by nature is agressive and has nothing to do with size.

Agreed 100% with this.

This will not go over well, purposely stunting your FH is very cruel in my opinion. Is this a joke or are you serious?

My 6 inch FH is very aggressive much more aggresive than my 10 inch dovii !!!. When he was new and about 4 inches I placed him in his new tank and after 3 or 4 minutes he starts chasing the 3 plecs.

IMHO.. Stunting wont work to arrest the aggression

Just want to show you how beautiful a shortbody,or bonsai can be,kok and all, and yes they can be aggressive too,most of mine are no tbut they are young still. I no longer keep regula FH, I fell in love with the SBs.

If you don't have the means to care for a flowerhorn don't get one. They're obviously just not the right fish for you.

Yes stunting a fish is not gonna change its nature. Shortbody and Bonsai are supposedly not as aggressive but still pretty aggressive.

For a lesson in nature:

Bout to go to CAN to toss you into a closet. Sit in there for a month and re-evaluate your comments. clearly real smart.

Does that make sense in regards to any other animals in the world? Would you do it to a dog or cat? How bout your kid cuz hes cuter when hes a wittle baby?

KITTENS ARE CUTE! If only I could stunt my kitten so its stays cute.

HAHAh O I agree. Everything is cuter as a baby, but then they quickly arent a baby

LMAO I just replied to a thread about flamming and how most dont deserve it. I need to go chage my post. LOL

Bro do some flowerhorn research, you will find the flowerhorn that fits you. However these guys are right, purposely stunting any creatures growth to fit your needs is not humane.

Short Bodies are nice as hell, you can find a nice one. If you need help doing so PM me. Bonsai are ok, I personally dont like the parrot shape.
