Mistakes Flowerhorn Fish Owner Should Never Do While Setting Up a New Flowerhorn In Tank - Part 1

Hi Flowerhorn Fish Lovers,
I welcome you all to the world of Blue Aquatics.
I hope you all are doing well.
Friends, you all know, flowerhorn fish is famous for its head, color, and pearls all over the body. Watching him grow from a baby to a monster size is an incredible feeling.
In this video, I will tell some of the mistakes that a flowerhorn fish owner should never do, while setting up a new flowerhorn in the tank. It will be helpful to many flowerhorn owners either they are a beginner or experienced one.
So I am sure after watching this video from start to end, you all will be having enough knowledge about setting up a new flowerhorn in the tank. I know about the most common mistakes that most flowerhorn owners usually perform while adding a new flowerhorn in the tank.
It results in a few issues like flowerhorn gets in stress, white poop disease, and other health-related problems.
So based on these issues, I thought, why not share with you all about these mistakes? Next time, when you add a new flowerhorn in the tank, it should be stress-free and free from diseases.
Let's start with each mistake one by one:
1. Cycle Aquarium properly
2. The tank should not be small
3. Don't feed for two days
4. The water temperature should not be less than 28 degrees
5. Add in the darkroom
Friends, some more points are to be considered while adding a new flowerhorn in the tank. I will share more of these in my next video or part 2 of this video.
Friends flowerhorn fish is one of the favorite fish for most of the ornamental fish lovers. Nowadays it's available with every seller. Some sell flowerhorn babies, and some sell adult flowerhorns or both. It all depends upon the budget which type you want to purchase. BLUE AQUATICS advises checking the quality before purchasing. Don't go for a cheap flowerhorn only. Also, look for the quality of the flowerhorn. If any seller is selling for a high price, then instead of arguing for a high price, check the quality first and compare it with low priced flowerhorn.
If you still have any query or wants to discuss your flowerhorn problem reach out to us in the comments section and as usual Blue Aquatics is happy to help you.
Friends, for watching more such informative videos subscribe to my channel BLUE AQUATICS. Your subscription encourages me to create unique and helpful videos and help to motivate this hobby more entertainingly.
Stay Healthy, and have a happy flowerhorn keeping.
Thanks,
