9 Months Update - A Day in the Life of My Flowerhorn

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

I guess there are lot of you who are new to flowerhorns. Flowerhorns are solitary fish. Like bettas. He can't have tank mates b/c they would fight to death or get injured all of the time. There are some people who have successfully kept flowerhorns with other fish, but that's not common. The tank is empty on purpose. My flowerhorn is a very aggressive one. Every flowerhorn's temperament is different. I had to remove everything from the tank, b/c he injured himself a few times already. Lots of flowerhorns injured themselves from trying to move any gravel, rocks, or decorations. They want to move everything out of the way. He is happy b/c it is empty. Any plants would get uprooted and chewed up. This tank is not small. This is 50 gallon with 7 gallon overhead sump. He hasn't shown any signs that would indicate that he needs a bigger tank. If he does show signs, I'll be getting bigger tank.

[@B0BBYL33J0RD4N]

Was thinking that he looked lonely at beginning, but about halfway in I understand. He was jumping out of the tank to get some food quicker.

I am glad you posted your flowerhorn information. I am ignorant as to the care of this creature and was thinking it is cruel to have him in an empty tank. Thank you.

i didnt know a fish could make me feel this many emotions, very well done video! loved his little shimmy before the final meal of the day

[@jaysolanki3404]

How you grown up his head

[@CreekValleyCritters]

Really nice video. You should try some clicker training with him, I am sure you could train him to do quite a few tricks, he seems like a very intelligent fish. He looks like the sort of animal who would really enjoy it and it would make great video :)

[@carlthegamer9215]

He's like my oscar, when i remove the lid he can jump about a foot high to grab de food in between my fingers! :)

[@tuanphongnguyen6525]

I used to make fun of my friend who also has a fish tank. He usually tells me everything about his fish and how he takes care of them. I didn’t understand how can he do it but now i do. I even love watching these videos now. It’s so calm, quiet, and beautiful. Also, great music taste OP

[@Phatocatto]

It's cute how interactive you can be with your fish!! Adorable how it follows your movements and how it comes up close to the glass sideways almost knowing like oh you want to take my measurements? Be proud how I've grown x3

[@KellysAdventures305]

This is my favorite of all your flowerhorn videos. How wonderous they are. I really enjoy pets of all types but animals that surprise you are amazing. You wouldn't expect a fish like him to be so intelligent and have such a range of emotion and the capacity to express affection and love. I'm completely "hooked" to use a fishing metaphor. I brought my new baby flowerhorn into my home today. A little baby about 2.5 inches. Parents are full of pinks and golds. Don't know if boy or girl yet but among the largest of the siblings. Looking forward to our adventure together. I hope you won't mind questions now and then. Thank you for showing us all what a remarkable fish they are! Its a gift I am grateful for.

[@green7449]

This is such a good example of why flowerhorns are such amazing pets. Many people criticize them for being "Man-Made". Despite the criticisms of certain people, they are super intelligent and beautiful. Yes, they aren't as indestructible as they're wild ancestors, but they don't need to be.

[@henryb1998]

Might be a dumb question to ask but I’m still going to ask it anyway lol. Do flowerhorns get “bored” in their tanks?

[@inactiveacc5957]

ibur Bautista I think when they get bored or anything they’d injure themselves (like bang their heads) onto any rocks or decorations in the tank. So probably, but most likely since he doesn’t have any decorations Id say yes.

It's the music. And the fish following his human back and forth but not being able to follow anymore due to the confines of the tank.

[@ayataka2000]

Leila Greene He's injured himself numerous times with decorations. You can see that the rocks were eventually removed as he grew. He is doing fine in this current tank. If he shows any signs of stress/stunted growth etc I am sure his owner will gladly provide a bigger tank.

[@ftyiogtyre7769]

Noob question and no critisism, but isn't that tank too small for such a big fish?

[@hsvdydy2409]

Ftyio Gtyre yeah while making the tank he told it would be okay till he is small I think he will make it bigger you should always start with smaller tank and gradually increase the size as your fish grows

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

He's ok for now. He hasn't shown any signs to indicate that he needs a bigger tank. If he does, I'll upgrade the tank.

[@MrLordFiren]

Foo the Flowerhorn Is the able to talk? How do you know how he feels ...

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

MrLordFiren I don't know how he feels, but I know the body language and the overall condition of my fish. It's hard to explain, it's something that comes with many years of keeping fish. If the tank is too small for him, he'll show signs like: freaking out often without apparent reason, gets spooked easily, restlessness, or gets sick easily.

[@jdmorgan1787]

A bigger tank isn't always better, have to big of a tank can stress out the fish just as much as having to small of a tank

Question. What is a flowerhorn’s normal life span?

[@TheDemigod007]

Noob question. My dad bought a flowerhorn years ago (I was around 16, now I'm 29). It lived for roughly 3 years before it turned sideways with a bloated stomach and eventually died. It grew more than 40cm (15+ inches for the sake of western people). How long is their usual lifespan in a basic aquarium set? Just the air filtering and pump system.

[@FootheFlowerhorn]

Well, it's different, but many say up to 10 years or so.

[@Shamariah2011]

What are they like in their natural African lake habitat? How do they deal with other species if they are so aggressive and cute at the same time?
