I need some help with a flowerhorn.
I have a friend who recently bought a flowerhorn. Its about 2 to 3 days since he bought it. Including tail, its about 10cm/4inch long. Its in a 55g tank. No decorations.
I personally don't know much info about flowerhorns, so wanted to get some feedback here to help him. I have a few questions...
1.
The flowerhorn is very very very scared and shy. It hides all the time, and for the brief moment it does come out, it darts to the back as soon as it sees someone. It has no tankmates. Is this normal to be this scared and shy?
2.
It wont eat at all. Just some frozen worms once, be he doesn't want to keep feeding it frozen worms, how can he fix this?
3. I took a pic of it, what kind of flowerhorn is it? His colour has faded from being so scared and not eating...
4.
Is 55g tank big enough for life?
5.
What kind of water paremeters do flowerhorns like?
E.G. temperature, ph, kh, gh, lots of oxygen, fast flowing water etc etc
Thank you in advance for your help.
