Your maths is out my friend. 6" growth between March and July. 4 months.

Still very impressive. He's going to be a big FH.

My math is just as bad! Working out these ferts is killing me .

I can't belive how much he's grown in that time though! Such a differnce from having little farty fish that hardly grow from having a small fish that you know is going to get big! Good stuff

Definate FOTM nomination from me, that is awesome!!!
Just a quick question what size tank would one of these need if living alone? And will yours stay this colour or end up some whacky blue or red or yellow?

Thanks.

Thanks,
He was in a 100g but ive recently moved him to a 60g by himself and he seems happier but i always have the 100g if he gets too big for the 60.
Online says minimum 55g but these can get quite big.

I think his colours should stay as they are now, grey base, pinkish around his neck and blue/green shimmering on his scales

Thanks for the info mate,

Get a varification picture before the 14th and get him entered!!

 

[angelfishguy]

what tank mates does hornbag have, if any?

im so tempted with a flowerhorn i saw recently but it would have to go in with my ornatums or Keith my oscar. Keith doesnt like other cichlids especially ones over about 4 inch for some reason so the ornatum tank would probably be the way to go but wouldnt want them to come to any harm obviously.

i know most flowerhorns are usually kept alone but was just wondering how yours gets on with tank mates...
