What kind of Flowerhorn do I have?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
thank you, that is good to know! Idk how many babies they’ll have, if they’re too many to handle I’m fine culling them.
I don’t mind selling either, I could always see if the LFS will buy them.
Otherwise my buddies fish all died, he has 5 50gal 2 100gal and several small ones. I’ll give them all to him ?
He says his psychotic step son put bleach in all his tanks
Ugh I would've went into a blackout rage from something like that. Lol least to say that kid wouldn't wanna sit down on anything for the next few weeks afterwards. Might have a permanent handprint on one of the 2 cheeks too lol.

But yeah ik for atleast in my own experience, looking at about 200-500 eggs per batch with a high mortality rate. By the time mine were ready to start selling, bout 1-1.5in, they had went from roughly 300 eggs to only 50ish babies and the numbers were dropping by the week from over crowding/cannibalism. Also the less ya have the faster the numbers drop, essentially if there's too much space the fish start to fight over it which leads to death/s. But yeah I would still space em out enough to atleast keep maintenance at a minimum tho.

Frank my flowerhorn got stuck under a stump decoration anyway he got stuck under the root system. Idk how he got in there, he doesn’t even come close to fitting between the roots and it’s a heavy and weighted decor.
anyway he was trapped in an L shape when I found him. I thought he was having muscle cramps, but it’s been 8 hours now and he still sinks to the bottom. When he tries to swim he just swims in circles.
he will lay sideways on the bottom. Thinking maybe his swim bladder?
Need help as vet is closed and the rest don’t do fish
