buddy02 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 feeding flowerhorns, what's best for growth and maximising colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 As with all fish- correct water conditions, enough tank space and a varied diet are the best way to go. I feed mine a combination of spectrum foods and protein pellets. For red color any food with alot of astaxanthin will help For yellows and greens spirolina can do good things..(possibly reducing your red though) If you want to breed stay away from "hormone" foods like white crane... h.t.h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I feed my guy Spectrum soaked with Brightwell aminomega and I feed peas aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matmatmat Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I go for a varied diet, stick to any one thing and you will have dramas.. I feed em heaps of different brands of pellets and things but the three things mine never are without is hikari bio gold ( helps with good gut bacteria IMO), frozen blood worm and peas so they poop. Other than lots of different pellets I give em all the bugs and worms and things I find:) I never give them feeders from the Lfs ,they can be diseased little buggers, also some fish won't want to go back on pellets afterwards and there isn't any real reason to take the risk.

Yodapwnsasmurf Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Anything you can find around the house that is edible.... I usually don't feed them any red meat products though.... And an antibiotic tablet every once in a while.... A fish one of course haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddy02 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 ok so it appears to feed them the same as i do for all my other fish - quality, fresh and varied. I thought there may have been something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
