of maintaining flowerhorn obtained by choosing a good candidate flowerhorn fish
during fry. Flowerhorns are widely available in the market, almost every shop
ornamental fish provide 2-3 flowerhorns but not all of them which are marketed
have criteria that good quality, so before you buy flowerhorn it is a good idea
to read the following tips that will explain about how to choose a quality
flowerhorn fish.
You want to keep a big
kok/head flowerhorn then you must know what kind of head that your flowerhorn
has. Water head flowerhorn depends on its gene, so what ever food you give to
flowerhorn if it doesn’t have water head kok then you will suffer loosing money
to give him special food. Forehead has already seen, wide and a little bend kok
are the criterias that you must seek. If you see the forehead tranparantly then
it should have a big kok when it gets adult stage. Caution: don’t buy
flowerhorn that has no bend at all on forehead thus you will get dissapointed.
You can see my video how to make flowerhorn kok bigger at here.
Another criteria how to choose a quality flowerhorn that flowerhorn should has full pearl on its body, there are
many types of pearl in flowerhorn, worm pearl, corn pearl, sand pearl, and
hologram pearl, although the
difference is quite obvious pearl but they still have the same beauty.
Essentially choose flowerhorn with pearl, the more amount of pearl (full pearl)
more quality.
How to choose a quality Flowerhorn :
Flowerhorn generally have
black markings etched into the body unless golden base or free marking
flowerhorn. Golden Base flowerhorn does not have the marking, but even so the
golden base still has an advantage even without marking. You must choose one
that has a thick and black graphic marking on the base of the tail fin to the
head, engraving marking varies greatly resembles some form of letters, numbers,
and stars.
The ideal body
shape of flowehorn is wider body rather round and thick but not elongated, do
not choose flowerhorn that has thin and long body.
The beauty flowerhorn also
seen in color, red in the gills to belly up to the fin on the brighter and
sharper indicate that flowerhorn ia more qualified so do not choose flowerhorn
when the red color faded, although to sharpen the red color faded it can be
overcome by feeding good food, but somehow faded colors will reduce the value
of the beauty of a flowerhorn.
Flowerhorn great traits can
also be seen in its eyes that there is a red circle eyeball, then its eyes must
have same size both left and right.
Flowerhorn is the
type of aggressive fish nimble and agile, try to put your hand into the
aquarium and move your hand to the right and left if flowerhorn interacts
directly to follow the movement of your hands it is a sign that the fish has a nice
guts and aggressive, but if instead it silent or even afraid it was a sign that
it does not have a good guts or may already be in a state of pain or stress.
The top fin form
of a good flowerhorn is going up and not fold up or face down, rising top fin
indicates that the fish has a character that is brave and aggressive, while
when choosing fin tail form section, choose a shape expands like a big triangle
or half circle and there are lots of pearls and nothing ripped slightest.
