I heard that you have to feed them special food that enhances the colours. My friend dad also mentioned something about feeding it shrimp which you can either catch from the river or buy for a dollar in the fish shops. The thing has died down a lot now I see....You still keeping yours? I hope you didn't pay a fortune for it.....

Last time i also got this flower horn. Cheap ones that doesnt have a nice colour. It died when i was away for my studies and it refuses to eat until it died. So sad... it died at the size of my palm.

It depends on the species also, you can only enhance the colour, you cannot add any colour you like to the body

yeah. hao is rite. The food or any chemical that sold are just to enhance to body colour and not for adding extra colour onto the body.. haha.

i read some of the "colour enhancing" food that you feed contains hornmones which could be harmful to the fish. So.. take a syringe, fill it with buncho paint colour of your choice.. cucuk d flower horn and pump, you get an instantly coloured fish.. dats how some fishes look so nice...
