thanks,
I want to know what should i do for it to be better and go big as soon as is possible and have a good situation.

you need a big enough tank for growth...and feed them both vegetarian and protein foood...e.g. bloodworm...frozen or dried is fine...and then I feed my cichlids vegetables...such as cooked gemsquash...cooked baby marrows...spinach that I crumble into a ball...cooked peas...greenbeans... I weigh these down witha fork and throw in the tank...the peas..and chopped greenbeans...drifts on top and they eat that too.. They also enjoy a nice slice of cucumber on a fork..the back of a spoon through the veg also works well...anything really that holds the stuff down...

I almost forgot...they also get regular cichlid pellets to chow on...I use two kinds..one that floats...and another that sinks...

of course...all this is done in moderation.............

Hi,
thanks about your oponins,northernguy & Gemstone.

Now i want to know your oponion about its phylum.Is that a flowerbox or flower parrot fish?

When i bought it,seller said:"Its from thailand & its flowerbox"

[cocoa_pleco]

looks like a flower parrot to me, he has the coloring and everything of a flowerhorn, but the body of a blood parrot. hes a nice fish though

[Gayle]

Very pretty fish! I would guess more of a parrot as well.

[Lady Hobbs]

They sure are cute when they're little, aren't they? He looks awfully FAT.
