Flowerhorn breeding

well, i am now going to try to get 2 of my flowerhorns to breed....i will keep everyone updated on my progress...

 

well, i have had them in a seperated tank for a few weeks now.....they never tried to fight and the male cleared a spot in the gravel, which seems to be an act of breeding......well, i updated the tank to a 100 gallon and put the male into it monday night. then i put the female in and watched them for a few minutes and they seemed to be interested in eachother, but i had to take her back out for the night because i had school the next day and didnt have time to watch them and make sure no fight happens.....today i am going to put the female back into the tank and watch what happens. Right now, the tank has a big clay bowl on the bottom for them to lay eggs in, if it comes to that. By the way, the 2 flowerhorn i am trying to breed are a male Blue Dragon ZZ, and a female Red Shock Kamfa.

 

Keep me posted on how the breeding is going. The male should be bigger than the female at all times the females become extremely aggressive during spawning and might attack the male.(this happend when i tried one time) Also, you want to buy a large, sturdy, clear divider. Keep them separated while your not there and then let them pair up that way. If they aren't overly aggressive with each other, you may have a pair, the eggs are laid, fertilized, and hatch..etc..etc good luck my friend. -tl

 

Good Luck!

 

alrite, thanks.....the male is the biggest fish i have, but he is only about an inch bigger then her....im still going to try it out b/c tyhey arnt overly aggressive and she hasnt even charged at him yet.....do you have any FH experience?

 

i tried breeding them once but i had no luck and the female actually killed the male, i have a little experience though yes.

Good luck with breeding them, I saw you join up on CM :y_the_best:
