Baby Flowerhorn With A Potential Head Pop

“Flowerhorns are a hybrid that was created in Chinese tanks in the 1990s. There are at least six possible fish that could make up what we now call flowerhorns.

Flowerhorns are not a naturally occurring species and have no native habitat; however, several have been released into the environment and are currently considered invasive species.

They can be found in most warm Eastern Asian locations, however, because most Flowerhorns are infertile, they have a lower damaging impact than most other invading species.

At a young age, high-quality fry exhibit attractive characteristics. If you have the choice of selecting flowerhorns from a large lot for a reduced price, choose fry with at least 10% color on their body and a tiny bump on the forehead. Because they develop before their siblings, this fry frequently turns out to be stunners when they grow.

Remember that fry requires time to develop, and as they grow, they will begin to develop as well as exhibit good features. If the genetics are in place, patience and excellent care will allow a flowerhorn fry to develop wonderfully.
