Flowerhorn/ flower horn questions?
they are probably stressed from the move so not eatting is common.





Fish dont need to eat for a week or two. So you dont have to worry about stravation.





Flowerhorns, their is plenty of dry foods out there, just look harder. Parrot cichlid food and flowerhorn foods are very common. But they will eat regular pellets.





I feed my flowerhorn tetra color bits. it is a color enhancers but all of my fish are fed that. look for it online or at the LFS.
Reply:Give flower horns time to adjust to the new water, everything will be find. Flower Horns are not selective with food and their consumption is high. Worms, small shrimps and pelletted fish food will do fine. What type of food or whether their stomach is fully filled are not a major issue, but types of food which do not pollute the water should be taken into consideration. You can underfeed but not overfeed Flower Horns, thus it is advisable to feed them two to three times daily.
