Thanks again everyone for your help but unfortunately he didn't make it.. Day late and a dollar short on my part treating him.. Now I have a much better idea what to do in the future. Thanks for all the info!

Thanks jlk and everyone for the quick replies! I don't have an aquatic vet nearby but I will get on this right away!

Thanks sheilac! Im gonna check it out right now!?

The only tank mate he had was a female King Kamfa FH a little more than half his size. I always keep them divided because they are so aggressive but I put them together when she dropped eggs so he could fertilize. When I come home from work he had a very small tear in bottom lip (no big deal I...

My male Flowerhorn was banged up by the female during mating and he has a terrible mouth fungus from the wound. It happened about 2 weeks ago and I treated with API fungus cure and Triple sulfa ( both pro series) and the fungus isn't fully gone. He looks terrible.. Hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks...

Thanks! Unfortunatly she ate the eggs.. No big deal, I've done some research and this behavior is common with first timers..lol.. The important thing is that they get along(so far) and they made the attempt. They should try again in a few weeks. See what happens!

She dropped eggs! Only about 30 or so visible, on a slate rock... Seems like she stopped, she hasn't dropped any in hours. Is this normal? Will she drop more eggs?

They have been together for a full day now no divider and no fighting. They are acting a little strange shaking tails and rubbing against eachother. The male has also cleared a 5-6" circle in the gravel.. This pic shows the anal gland of female, much larger than it was. Are these signs of...

Thanks! I hope so 2.. There's a web site called aquabid, you can find flowerhorns pretty cheap from many different blood lines. Some real nice stuff.

Has anyone had any luck breeding flowerhorns? I just picked up a male red dragon about 9" and a female King kamfa about 7". They don't seem to get along so I put a divider in the tank. Has anybody bred them this way successfully?

Thanks! Got them from a breeder in RI, I'd really like a male for my 125 gal. tank so I picked out 2 of them figuring I'd have a 50/50 shot.. Just don't know what I have??

Can anyone tell me the sex of my red dragon flowerhorns, their both under 3"..

Try filling the canister with water about 3/4 of the way ( siphon right out of tank) then seal the filter up and give it a few pumps. As long as you have the hoses as strait as possible it should prime. Let me know if this works. Good luck!

I purchased them as blue acaras and from looking on the Internet they seem to look more like acaras than terrors. I like the acaras because they are less agressive. Thanks for the input.

Sorry these pics aren't the best (taken from my beat up phone).. They are very young, maybe a little over an inch. Thanks
