Growth Log Of Hornbag

[angelfishguy]

10TH MARCH 2011

Okay so we picked up a flowerhorn about 1 1/2 inches and named him Hornbag, i dont think its a good quilty one but yet i dont really know about flowerhorns.
He was ment to be €14.99 but the girl didnt have a clue and sold him for €2.99

So im going to do a growth log to see how fast he grows and how much his colour changes.

i keep saying he but i know dont the sex lol

this is his temp home untill we get the 100g over to our new house.

ive googled and read up about flowerhorns but would like some general advice an flowerhorns from people who have kept them,

thanks

After being on flowerhorn forums i was told that he might be a classic zz FH but wont know untill he grows a bit more. So im going to get him some new food today.
Any suggestions for food? Thanks

Good grief, you force feeding him growth hormone

Cracking looking big chap though

Lol no, he is mainly fed on hikari pellets.

His growth has slowed a little in the last few weeks

Cool i still wasnt too sure on the sex, was thinking it might be a female. Dont think he is going to have a big head becauae im sure it would have started buy now.

He is about 7/8" now
