Through this blog I will share various tips for all of you to be successful in maintaining flowerhorn fish.

Flowerhorn cichlids are ornamental aquarium fish noted for their vivid colors and the distinctively shaped heads for which they are named. Their head protuberance, or kok, is formally termed a "nuchal hump." Like blood parrot cichlids, they are man-made hybrids that exist in the wild only because of their release.
