Thanx
I have Steen your Texas paired With red devil, could you please inform me how they have been paired? All since I do have 4 red devil females, I tried to pair some of them with the above Texas, but still I didn't succeed
They have never paired sorry just tank mates. I have two Red Devils who paired with each other and a super red Texas with a king Kamfa flowerhorn.
I don't try to breed my fish they just breed in my community tank but what I can tell you if your doing it with a group it can take a while and they can kill all your fish. The best is get a 20 long or a bigger tank and let them breed in there. Get your best female and put a divider in there so they can see each other. Put a clay pot in the females area and let them do their thing. It usually works but takes time. I've had my red devil in the tank for 4 years and then he finally paired off. My super red Texas and Kamfa literally saw each other the first time and did courtship and trying to dig a pit. Sometimes it's straight forward sometimes it's not.
Also your females need to be of age of sexual maturity. I've seen bonsai flowerhorn at 1.5 inch lay eggs but they grow slow. Good luck trust me it's been a year + and I still have fry if your not a breeder it's a pain to keep them. I've had over 8000 fry from the parents at a point I just didn't care I let nature take its toll and didn't let them out. Maybe a few survived like the wild in that tank but I sold dozens and I have like 50 left!
