Flowerhorn Fish Feeding Guide

FLOWERHORN FEEDING GUIDE http://flowerhornfishguid.blogspot.in... FEEDING OF FINGERLINGS (FRY) FINGERLINGS LESS THAN A MONTH are fed with brine shrimp or daphnia. Wriggler Stage (Day 1 to Day 4) - No feeding Free Swim Stage (Day 5 to Day 15) - Once a day brine shrimp Fry Stage - (Day 16 to Day 30) - Twice a day brine shrimp FINGERLINGS ONE MONTH OLD AND ABOVE Day 31 - Day 45 - tubifex once a day Day 46 - Day 60 - tubifex twice a day, powdered pellets ONCE A DAY FEEDING (STIMULATE AGGRESSIVENESS) For every inch of the body length of the fish, one large pellet is given. Another pellet is added for every inch of growth the fish has attained over time. This is done when the fish body diameter is less than one inch. If the diameter is more than one inch, the amount of pellets can be doubled --- with recommended once a day feeding. To get the diameter, measure the area centermost area from the belly of the fish up to its top area excluding the dorsal fins. If the body length falls on a point between the two actual inch mark (ex. 4.4 inches), our basis in determining whether to add another pellet is the midway point of the measure or the 0.5 mark. If the body length falls before the 0.5 mark (ex. 4.4), no additional pellet is given but if it goes beyond the 0.5 mark (ex. 4.7) then it is safe to add one more pellet. TWICE A DAY FEEDING (MAXIMIZE EFFECT OF FOOD AND VITAMINS) Just double the feeding you make in once a day feeding. Feed every 12 hours. THRICE PER DAY FEEDING (PUMP FEEDING) Get the total number of pellets a flowerhorn is supposed to get based on the twice per day feeding. Divide it into three then add one pellet per feeding. Most importantly, use a tank heater to increase the metabolism of the fish to avoid the occurrence of bloating and Hexamita infection.
