Hey webmaster khoo

since you are a fish enthusiast as well, have you ever kept flower horn fish? Am thinking of getting one, but i havent had much luck keeping fish in the past, so i dont want to get one then ahve it die on me. I kept some tetra and then some goldfish, and they kept dying till i thought i wasnt destined to keep fish.

but i saw this flowerhorn the other day which kept saying "Take me home!" with eqach gurgle... they are reserving him for me... do u know if this breed of fish is easy to keep? (sorry to post in the dog forum, but in the koi forum i'm a bit lost).

Hi Boon,

Your post become MIA ? I guess your new streamyx connection is having some problem lah. When the post become MIA, likely the information did not reach the server and hence it is not possible for me to recover.

Re: [luckey] hello! [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Jenn,

It is definitely not difficult to keep fish a live in an aquarium.As long as you are able to keep your water is good condition, your fish will know how to take care of themselves. Unlike human and dog, fish live in an environment that is continuous polluted by the own waste. These waste consist ammonia which is extremely toxic to the fish. As long as you have a powerful filter to allow colonization of bacteria, your filter should be able to convert these ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate which is much less toxic to the fish. Nitrate value can be reduced by weekly partial water change.

I guess if you need further help, you can visit the fish forum at http://www.pets2u.com.my/aqua/

Hi Khoo,

Impossiblelah, i saw my replied to Jennifer last night, but how come this morning MIA lio. May be u didn;t treat the server well and coz my post MIA.TongueCool

Jennifer : I do have 3 flowerhorns with me, my uncle gave it to me about a year ago, since he has about 20 to 30 of them. Based on my experience, and what i had learnt so far, you need to keep the water fresh. So it must be change at least one a week. The ratio will be 25% to 35% of the tank. Do not change all the water at one go. Remember to put some anticlorene into the fresh water and as what Khoo mentioned, get a reasonable powerful filter will definately help.

Out of the 3 flowerhorns, one of them is about 1 ft in size and the forehead is real big or 'swallen'. Hahaha real beatiful, also don forget to monitor and maintain the water temperature like between 30 to 32c. You can use the aquarium light (the pink color one) to warm up the water and this will also help the pigmentation/coloring of the fish. The healthy flowerhorn, the color must be sharp and eye catching.

Do not feed small fishes for flowerhorns, this will eventually coz the body color become darker and it won't be that nice, so a small prawns/shrimps will do the job and also premium quality of fish kibble.

Re: [luckey] hello! [In reply to] Can't Post

I did a translation on a Flower Horn Directory once...in July. The translation was not that satisfactory (in my opinion), but I can let you have a look this coming gathering at Kota Kemuning. Then you can decide whether you want to buy the directory or not.

Re: [boon] hello! [In reply to] Can't Post

HI Boon

Thanks for sharing your experiences on flower horns... sounds like yours are very beautiful. BUt is there a way to tell whether the small ones will grow into big beautiful ones? (coz the bogs ones quite expensive!) I saw this small one whose head was starting to "swell" but the fish guy told me that one could not tell how big the forehead would get when the fish grew up. Also, is the color due to what you feed the fish, or due to genes?

Re: [wkser] hello! [In reply to] Can't Post

hmm sounds like they are fun! are they expensive to keep (the maintenenace of tank, the food, etc?) We just set up house so we're abit "broke" adjusting to all the new bills, so wondering if a flowerhorn fish will add to our expenses?

Re: [luckey] hello! [In reply to] Can't Post

hi jenn,


morning..... flower horn is very easy and it won't cost much to rare them....just maybe the fish food will cost abit but not that expensive.....sometime you just spend a ringgit or two to get some prawn for them to eat that you get from the fish shop....if you wan their color to change to red you can get some special fish food for them and also for their head to grow.........if you have one pair you need to divide the aquarium in to two protion then you will see them challenge each other then their color will turn real red........Wink

Re: [luckey] hello! [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Jennifer.

Hahha thanz for the kind wordsCool. KangSer is right, it won't cost you much to rare a few. OK from what i know the structure and online of an adult fish will only be able to see and show after 3 to 6 months. And bare in mind that even the forehead is growing by then, this doesn means that the forehead will continue growing and worse it will shrink. Yeap no kidding, i saw this happened many time in my friend's place, initially the bought the fish with beatiful coloring and full of pearl spots, but after a while (may be within a week) the color became lighter/fair and the spots MIA.

Actually u can have a injection into the fish to force the forehead, but the fish won't be able to last long, meaning the life time of the fish is at most 2 to 3 years. For a normal flower horns they can live to about 8 to 10 years. I personally not recommend to use the medicine to force the coloring and the fish's forehead.

OK for coloring, u can get the fish kibble called 'Poh Chen Hong' or direct tranalsation to english will be 'Warranty Red'. This will cost u a bit but trust me, is not even 1 or 2 % of what luckey and brinkley cost uTongue.

Do u have any idea how much the bogs one will cost u in KL ?

Re: [wkser] hello! [In reply to] Can't Post

The Flower Horn is a territorial and solitary fish, meaning it's not recommended to keep more than 1 fish in an aquarium because they will fight until the fittest wins.
