I just bought a Red Dragon FlowerHorn Fish from the store..its still a little lad..anyone know how to take care of it and make its head big?
Red Dragon Flower Horn?
There are several ways that you increase the size of the nuchal hump on your Red Dragon Flower Horn. One way is buying Flower Horn Floating Pellets. The high lipid(fat) content has a beneficial influence on the growth of the attractive nuchal hump (humped forehead). Also keeping in a tank by itself can increase the size and color of your Flower Horn.
Mostly it depends on the quality of the fish, if the fish was sold at a high price most likely the strain and genes will create a large nuchal hump.
Also the nuchal hump can shrink or be stunted do to stress such as, water changes in temp and PH. Prevent any large changes in water within a few days and feed it Flower Horn Floating Pellets and your Red Dragon Flower Horn should grow a nice nuchal hump.
Hope that Helped, plz Send Feedback!
Reply:Keep it in a tank big enough to grow into (start with at least 30 gallons, expect to upgrade to 75 gallons). Feed it a high quality cichlid pellet, which you can supplement with fresh foods like krill, shrimp, prawns, worms, etc. Keep the water clean by doing partial water changes every week.
That%26#039;s it. Don%26#039;t worry about the hump - this is something that grows more as the fish matures, and it takes many years to develop those massive humps you may have seen in pictures. If you want to have your FH big and impressive, you need to be in it for the long haul - they live many years.super nanny
