IV. How to feed this species?
When picking food, make sure it is well balanced in vitamins, minerals, and proteins, as the Kok will not grow without them.
Brine shrimp can be included in their diet. These shrimps are similar to the ones eaten by humans, however, they are a little smaller. The Flowerhorns enjoy it because of its rich texture and robust flavor. Furthermore, brine shrimps are high in essential minerals and proteins that are required for Flowerhorn head growth. It is advisable to feed them live brine shrimp because they have a higher nutritional value. Apart from feeding brine shrimp, the Flowerhorns enjoy other foods such as vegetables and bloodworms, which are also beneficial to the Kok’s growth. Fish flakes can also be used to feed your fish.
