what is the good food for breeding flowerhorn?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
please help me.
what is the good food that makes the female of flowerhorn become easy to spawn for breeding flowerhorn?

krill, live brine shrimp, popcorn shrimp.......food with bright colors, primarily red.......
 
Its not all about food, its more about water temp with mine, what is your temp at?? Lower you temp a few degrees for a few days and that will do the most.
 
When I was actively breeding Flowerhorns I would lower the water temp a couple degrees, do frequent small water changes, and I would feed them fresh market shrimp, bloodworm, and freeze dried krill.
 
The flowerhorn is a hardy fish.....Made up of tough tropical fish genes, todays flowerhorn is a bulldog.........The one problem I only found with breeding these brutes is bonding the male and female and then waiting for them to breed, crossing my fingers they will not kill each other...........Temp I keep at 78-82 degrees........I never heard of lowering the temperature being a stimulate for breeding...........These fish genes are used to 70+ degree water............

Flowerhorns for the most part are NOT hardy fish and do not have "tough" genes.
Why are there so many disease threads with flowerhorns having white poop?
Most of the flowerhorns coming from overseas almost always have hex...as the breeder fed them live food that can have parasites and the stress of the shipment gets them sick.

OP, just feed a natural staple diet, like NLS and keep the water clean
