Breed Flowerhorn Fish
What are the steps to be followed for breeding Flowerhorn fish? Firstly, you need to select the parents of new Flowerhorn fish, as per your choice of traits to be seen in the baby fish. Then these parents should be kept separately, by putting a glass divider between them in a large aquarium. They should be well fed to make them healthier before mating. The temperature of the water should be maintained at an optimum level and pH of the water should be neutral. Air should be supplied to the aquarium with an air stone and many decorations should be introduced to that large-sized aquarium. A plate with plain surface should be kept in the aquarium so that the female fish can lay eggs on it. The water of the aquarium needs to be treated with an anti-fungal solution before lifting up the glass divider. After the two fishes mate, the female fish lay eggs either over the given plate or on any smoother surface. Then the male fish spread its milt over those eggs to fertilize them. After a few days, the eggs will hatch into tiny Flowerhorn fishes that are termed as fries. Then the parents are taken away and these fries are given special care for proper growth.
