i have a mating pair of flower horns. they are healthy but i wanted to know what a good price would be to sell them to a fish store would be. My local store told me $2 store credit per fish. Is that worth it or should i shop around.
Flower horns
- Thread starter Galliente
- Start date
none yet they are tiny at the moment prob a couple months from moving them. I got back from Vegas and they were all over the place. Both flowerhorn padres are alone in a 30 gal. But i boutght the parents for 9.99 a peice. they are 3 inch or so and are beautiful.
i bought 4 firemouths and 3 flower horns and put them in the 30 gal. but the flowerhorns teamed up , and (survival of the fittest) are now the only ones left.
they were in a 45 which isnt much better. But all were bout 1# then i ended with the 2 so i moved to the 30.
Keeping two flowerhorns together is not a good idea. Soon u might end up with only one. They are territorial fish and best to keep single. And 50g is minimum for one flowerhorn. For the price u need to know about the flowerline, colour, gender, pearl pattern, shape and hump(KOK) size. They show their potential at around 3-4" and you can guess the gender at that size. Good luck.
The pair mated already. I have about 100 fry. The flowerhorns are smaller than two inches still though.Granted they did eliminate the other flower horn and other fish in the tank.
But i know what you mean i had to put a devide for about a week. then when i removed it they breeded.

$2/fish? You're getting ripped off. Grow em' out, sell on aquabid. That or sell all the fry on there for $4/each. One way or the other, you can do better than what you've been offered.
