he was raised in my 180g with my jardini, my macheres, an ngt, and some different pbass and he was definitly the BOSS!! he's now in a 60g by himself, and well lets just say he's still the boss. OH, also both flowerhorns were raised on New Life Spectrum, once in a while I will give them fresh market shrimp, but that is all they have ever eaten, except some worms when they were really small. I've had both FH since they were babies. VERY NICE FISH!! I hate to sell them but I must move on to BIGGER!!
