Hello everyone, Flower horn do have the head or know as "nuchal hump" rite? I would like to know whether there's any way to make its head grow become big? or we just let it grow by natural?

currently i have two Flower horn fishes, one is male, and one is female? Can anyone share some information about is it possible to let the female 1 lay down its eggs? because everytime i putting both of them together, they will certainly fight with each others... and also how we protect the egg in aquarium tank?
Thanks a lot!

First of all, I myself never think a fish is cute. It's funny when someone goes in front of the aquarium and say 'an gu gu, ur sooo cuteee', well unless its Nemo. laugh.gif

Okie, for the head thingy. I once heard that there's er.. something to feed them so that their head will grow larger. But Im not sure whether its true or not.

the hump u cant do anything about it la i think... its natural..

as for breeeding, i breed a few times adi..
u will need a few times to get the experience

there will be some fail project, like the eggs become bad coz the male dint put the "ahem" on it tongue.gif

or the male or the female eat the eggs.

==========================

if u really wana breed.
get a bigger tank.

separate the male and the female wif a glass in the middle of the tank
if urr tank got sand, then u can see tat if she is going to mate soon, she will use her mouth to transfer the sand to other parts of the tank and make a hole in there, usually laying the eggs on the glass floor.

if u dun have sands, u cant see whether she is ready or not,
so u got to monitor when she is going to lay eggs.
anyway when she is going to lay eggs, will have something like penis laugh.gif
come out of her abdomen, the eggs will come out from there.

after she lay the eggs adi, u can take off the glass tat separates the male and the female. usually they wont fight after the the eggs are being lay.

and the reason of the glass separator is for them to be familiar wif each other so tat they wont fight.

after that there is nothing u can do, juz monitor them see got fight or not.?
if no after the male put its "ahem" on the eggs.

i will turn into fry soon, u can see a bunch of it circling the female soon.
next u need to be careful, if the parents fight usually the fry wont survive.

usually for me la, i will take away the male, and let the female lead the fry.

u can take away the female when the fry is like 10 cent coin, or mayb sooner depends.

its very very fun when the fry reach that size.
i like to put a lump of red worm and put my hands into the tank,
hundreds of fry will come and eat the worms very cute tongue.gif

hehe, hope u understand my rojak english blush.gif

regarding the breeding rite, b4 the female 1 mate and going to produce "penix' and the egg come out from there, do we need to put the male and female 1 together first without separate them, to let them do something that similar to the human being do, i mean after male & female do the "thing" baru the female can pregnant rite? is the fish oso like tat ar? I hope u guys get what i mean, haha sweat.gif
