rED O Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Right now they are in a 65 gallon. Yes its small but I am upgrading to a 120 tomorrow. For filtration I have a reaction 4 canister filter with a uv sterilizer rated for 130g, a marineland penguin 500 filter ( I think thats the name) rated for 55 gallons, and a cascade 300 is rated for 30g. So 215 gallons of filtration, Iam doing not bad! Going to try and breed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkangel Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 You might have a bit of trouble breeding that pair. The one on the right looks like a low grade male. Most female flowerhorns have a black stripe covering the lower portion of the dorsal fin from front to back. You will also need a piece of slate under the divider, and put in a small fountain pump on the males side of the tank pushing water over to the female side. Lots of live food and water changes on a daily basis. If you are successful, out of 500+ eggs you may get 2 - 3 good looking fish, but you won't find out what they look like until they hit the 2 inch mark. Good luck.
