FlowerHorn Fish|'Hua Lou Han Fish'

 

FlowerHorn Fish or its also called "Hua Lou Han" in Mandarin language? Who ever heard this name before?. It never occurred to me that I will come face to face looking at these beautiful fish at a friend's house. Looking at its protruding forehead which is the main attraction and having striking features in appearance and color. These species of fish are really totally different and uniques from other fish. Just by looking at the photos you will know what I mean.

 

What on earth is FlowerHorn Fish 




FlowerHorn Fish or Hua Lou Han Fish as some people called it are actually a cross breed between different cichids from South America. Exact which species that are used to breed Flowerhorn Fish are unknown but most people believe that it is combination of a trimac and one or several other species.

The first impression when people see these fish, Wow! "What an exotic fish"



See the photo on the right. Do you noticed, there is a big hump on the fish's forehead. Thats the biggest attraction that people want to see. Yet instead of the hump, the existence of some black-marking on its body, which resemble Chinese characters, is also an interesting issue. Some lottery-punters(gambling) sometimes try to get some clues from the markings? Sound weird! but people will do all sorts of things to get rich.



Rumors says that breeding a flowerhorn fish might bring good lucks.How far that is true?is yet to be certain|confirm. What is most important they are really beautiful, colorful, unique and of course, they are different from other fish.

How Popular these Fish 

The Flowerhorn fish or cichlids became an instant popular in Asia due to fact that they are assumed to bring good luck to their owners and better Feng Shui


The Humps that can be found on adult Flowerhorn fish resembles Chinese God of Longevity. Due to this believed, the market prices of these fish goes up like sky-rocket. There have been Flowerhorn fish that have been sold for several hundred thousands dollars. Yet for most fish, the price are however much cheaper.

How To Care for these Flowerhorn Fish? 

If you have the desires to and plan to have these Flowerhorn fish in your premises. These is what you should know:-

  1. Aquarium Setup


Flowerhorn cichlids need large aquarium due to their large size and aggressive temperament. They should be kept alone or with other large aggressive cichlids from the same area. You can get more details from flowerhorn.info in you are interested to keep these fish as your pets

 

2. Feeding Flowerhorns

Talking about Feeding,
Flowerhorn cichlids are like most South American cichlids anything but picky eaters and they accept almost any food. They have high energy consumptions and need a lot of food to develop optimally.The fact that these large fishes require a lot of food also means that there is a large strain on the water and water changes should be do one to two times a week.

 

3. Breeding Flowerhorn cichlids

It is possible to breed Flowerhorn cichlids in aquarium tanks in the same way you would breed Trimacs and other large South American cichlids. You should however not expect to get Flowerhorn cichlids of the same quality as the parents. Some may be, but that is not guarantee.It takes knowledge about the the different strains and line breeding to create quality Flowerhorn fish.

MAJESTIC COLORS OF FLOWERHORN 

Never Tired Looking at Them

 



Wikipedia 

The Flowerhorn, also called Luohan (Luo Han), is a intergeneric cichlid hybrid. Flowerhorns are thought to arise from the man-made hybridization of a number of cichlid species, from South and Central America. Although the exact parent species are not known, it is most likely that they include Cichlasoma trimaculatum and Amphilophus citrinellus (or another fish of the red devil cichlid) complex. Flowerhorns first emerged for sale on the aquarium market in Malaysia in the late 1990s and soon became popular in many countries in Asia. As a probable intergeneric hybrid the fish lacks a specific Latin name. Flowerhorns are, unlike many other hybrids, fertile.

Other notable inclusions in the flowerhorns breeding are Cichlasoma festae and Vieja synspila ('Redheaded' cichlid). Only the original breeders know exactly which species they crossbred to create the Flowerhorn cichlid. Given the vast amount of mixing, it is doubtful any recorded details of hybridisations exist.

There is a belief in the Far East that ownership of a Flowerhorn brings good fortune, especially in business and gambling. The hump that the adult male fish develops is said to resemble the Chinese god of longevity, and it is believed that the owners luck will grow if the fish's hump grows. The adult males are thus the most commercially valuable. Flowerhorns have distinctive markings on their sides, which can be interpreted as recognisable symbols. It is also noteworthy that the original species from which these cichlids were hybridised also display a number of these traits.

The market for Flowerhorns exhibited a classic boom and bust cycle of the phenomenon, with rarity at the start and a huge oversupply at the end. The height of the outburst was in 2003, and was mainly in several countries in Southeast Asia.

Flowerhorns are hardy and very undemanding fish to keep in an aquarium. They do, however, require large aquariums due to their large size - they can grow up to 16 inches (40 cm) long. They are aggressive and carnivorous, and thus can only be kept with other large fish.

Flowerhorn fishes? I guess I must be hearing that one for the first time, since all I care about is just to eat it. I hope you are not just talking about the attractiveness though. Lol.
