Water flow 4 FH

[Travis Condy]

Hello fellow MFKs,

I was wondering what you guys have to say about water flow with flowerhorns. I'm curious whether or not a good strong water flow would be beneficial for my new SRD. Let me know what you guys think and/or know.
Thanks!

I have a few pretty strong flow areas in my tank for my kamfa and he seems to like it alright. I also have a few areas where the flow is reduced to allow the fish to rest. As long as you're fish doesn't struggle in the current then it should be okay.

some flowerhorns love it, some dont. but an intermediate rate of flow in a tank is always the best. not too strong, not too weak.

I might add low flow and test the waters (literally ) with how he responds. Thanks!

My tank turnover is probably around 15*h and he handles it just fine.

Clean water is much more important than flow for flowerhorns and most cichlids really. As long as you keep your water pristine a high flow or turnover is not needed
