These are my main reasons why I like flowerhorns. Please don't feed live shrimp. It can transfer parasites. Steven O’Brien Guitar Miniature No. 1 in D major Direct Link: / s. .
*And sometimes,you can pet them.* Imagine just swimming around minding your own business then a giant warm mammalanian hand just reaches out and touches you ina weird ecstatic way.
Me a few days ago: woah what is that bigheaded fish that keeps appearing in this channel's thumbnails Me after watching this video: awww look at that fat happy energetic flowerhorn! Who's a good flowerhorn?! You are!!
the eye movement/perceived intelligence thing is why i like bettas too. i love to interact with a fish that i can really feel is looking back at me and has its own thoughts
Tonight was a really rough night for me and ever since I moved away from home I’ve been struggling a lot and this video cheered me up and really made me feel okay and genuine happy and I really love the whole channel thank you so much :)
I do notice in some hybridized fish like the flowehorn and blood parrot, their intelligence seems quite marked. They've even show signs of affection and being playful with their human caregivers.
Your videos on flowehorns really showed me how awsome they are. At first I didn't think I'd be interested in this fish but I love watching your videos with them!
I've known about flowerhorns for years but unitil i got mine just recently I would have missed out on how great these fish are. They have such great personalities and always interacting with people. They are very rewarding to keep and grow. They are generally very happy fish. Now i have 3 and I want more lol
Thank you. Going through a difficult time and this really cheered me up. Discovered your channel recently and have been binge watching. Thank you for showing us the secret lives of these beautiful creatures🙏💐👍
In video it said much like keeping a cat or a dog. I agree. I had a female flowerhorn in a 75 gallon tank for about ten years. She loved the human touch
We don't have a Flowerhorn. But our fishes can recognize us. The fish tank is in my son's bedroom he feeds them. But is me who changes the water cleans the tank, does aquascaping, adds more plants, etc. And my family already realized when I entered the room the fishes follow me around. They move to the closer side I'm staying, I never realized until my husband and my son pointed out last week. Dunno what is this maybe because I'm the one who chats with them? When I put the hand inside to adjust plants or move other items the fishes come close and start to swim around my fingers, allowing me to stoke them. Just like my cats who follow me all around the house and cannot leave a single minute alone nor to have a shower in peace. Thank god fishes can't move out of the tank!
we used to have this kind of fish in our faculty room. he's got hella big forehead and bright red-pink body as far as I remembered. Absolutely had no idea it requires extent of maintenance to get to that look! Still don't know who owns that boy until today.
Haha I have Ranchu and those guys are so curious and energetic, but ever since getting them I've noticed they also have that fascinating free movement of their eyes. Sometimes, they'll even blink when they watch me walk from room to room and I think its a really expressive and fascinating thing.
I just learned of these fish yesterday when I found your channel. New sub! They’re amazing! One of the first things I noticed was that they could move their eyes! So cute ^-^
I've got my pond fish in the bath atm. I filled it with the pond water when I emptied the pond. I decided the otherday to run the tap to airiate the water some the otherday, the loved it and started swimming under it then formed a train and were all swimming in formation round the bath. it's one of the reasons I'm taking long about re digging the pond I like watching them when I'm on the toilet
I have a pet flowerhorn named "LARGE" because he is big unlike the other fishes he's the big chunker in the tank anyways while i was touching the tank to scare off all the little fish there he smooches the tank so like he smooched my fingers what a gentle man
I always found the look of a flower horn to... ummm... unfortunate? I used to have a jack Dempsey I could pet. Not quite as brightly colored as a flower horn, but still a beautiful fish
I heard that when they come up to receive a pat they are actually trying to aggressively defend their territory which is perceived by us as affection? Can anyone confirm whether or not this is true?
just received my strawberry flowerhorn fry a week ago. Its growth is amazing and fast! I can't wait for it to take color and see if its male or female. How was your process training it to be pet and not bite your hand? I am exposing my hand to the fry as much as I safely can.
Six reasons to hate flower-horns 1. They require massive aquariums 2. They are so aggressive to a point where they can't be kept with any other fish. 3. They are also so destructive to a point to where you can't even put gravel or even plants In the aquarium, otherwise they chew up the plants and carry the gravel to one corner of the aquarium. 4. The cost of a flower horn is usually $100 minimum 5. Frozen or live food is also a requirement 6. Incredibly difficult to keep. Just get a Betta fish. They have amazing personalities, can be kept with tank-mates, are significantly smaller, aren't difficult to upkeep, and are far more beautiful in my opinion.
Flowerhorns are so adorable. Can I ask you a few questions like how big will he grow? What size tank is appropriate & will he bite as he gets bigger? Thanks for sharing this video, it made my day 💗
Defo needs a helmet, likes to use its head like a stormram as well as a petting area. Add to that this one has some Japanese tattoo on the side of him and I understand why you like them. Also: OMG HES HUUUUGE!!!! Didn't realise that until you petted him O.O
I just wanted to share that.. My dad once own a flowerhorn The flowerhorn was bigger than Foo (until he died) But my father release the fish to the river But we still hope the fish still alive tho
After watching your videos I have fallen in love with your Flowerhorn and now I’m thinking about getting one for my brother he has his own little aquarium and he would definitely love one of these guys. But I would like to know if it’s difficult to take care of as a beginner?
Hey Bud! Need a quick amplification: I have added a new 4 inch flowerhorn 2 days back in a newly established tank and she seems stressed obviously. I need to know if it's ok to add aquarium salt to the tank and if yes how much exactly shall i add ? All the other parameters are perfect(watched all your videos before setting up a tank).People have a divided opinion if one should use a aquarium salt for fresh water fishes.Hence ,need your thought. PS - water is pristine,running a 264G/hr canister filter along with seachem line of products like stablity/prime/stress guard etc.
I never use salt. IMO, if your filter is doing good and your fish is healthy, there's no need. good water quality and various nutritious foods pretty much take care of everything, imo. I've kept oscars for over 8 years in the past. I've never used salt. they never got sick. only thing they got was external parasites from feeding live gold fish. that's why I never feed live gold fish. but some people live by them. it can prevent some diseases and help with digestion, they say. if your fh is healthy and doing fine, I don't see the point. but if you've kept your fish for, let's say, 6 months or more, and they get little ill there and there and recover, then it might be a good idea. I would always add less than recommended. around 10grams per gallon. but in the very beginning, I would do 5 grams per gallon, wait a week and see if things are doing good. then, I would up it to 10 grams. and during water change, only put the right amount of salt for the new water.
Today's morning my newly acquired flowerhorn developed a cloudy eyes and it's color has been faded, his head has been shrunken along with a black stripes possible due to settling in a new environment. I just don't get if i have provided my fish with the best environment then why this is happening? Thanks a ton for a response though!
oh man. sorry to hear that. cloudy eyes, shrunken hump, black stripes - that combination means your fh's immune system is weak. the cause could be many things. maybe your water isn't cycled yet? then you gotta do a big water change. best way to go about it I think is do a big water change, then feed your fh nutritious foods. I guess salt would help in this case. or something like melafix. if your fh is still eating well, there's a chance that he might recover with just good water quality and nutritious foods.
Hey bud! My FH is dead. I tried everything from water changes to treatment with seachem paraguard and therapeutic high end aquarium salt but she stopped responding . Few aquarists suggested that I shouldn't have used a borewell water ,instead I should have used canned water or purified RO water .I am clueless where did I went wrong.? I am certain that my tank has been cycled properly since I have followed the seachem stability schedule. My FH was gorgeous;AAA grade SRD.let me know if I shall continue running the canister filter to keep the beneficial bacteria alive ? Also should I change the entire water with RO or canned water before introducing a new fish perhaps clown loaches and tetra or an another FH? PS- after adding salt , water TDS(measured with TDS meter) shows as "850-900 PPM" Any advice?
sorry for your loss. I think only other fish owners can really understand the loss of our pet fish. well, for borewell water, my understanding is that b/c there's no buffers in the water, the ph could drop faster than normal tap water. I've always used tap water, so I'm not sure about other types of water. I think RO water has nearly the same effect. ro water is devoid of minerals and hardness, so ph could drop faster. fhs like a little higher ph than neutral. My understanding is that if you use well water, you gotta do more frequent water changes than using regular tap water. tap water has buffers that can hold ph longer. I guess if you use well water, you could go for fish that likes lower ph. yea, like tetras or clown loaches or discus...or go for another fh but do more frequent water changes. one thing that is very important when doing big water changes, especially for newly bought fish, or sick fish, is matching the temperature of the new water to your tank's water. if your tank's temps change 2~3°C after water change, that's a huge shock for your fh. big change in temps in a very short amount of time can lower the immune system, causing illness. b/c your fh had cloudy eyes, I would bomb the entire tank with antibacterial medicine for 3 days. then, do 100% water change. wait a few days and add fish.

The reason why I want a Flowerhorn? Your video!
Tonight was a really rough night for me and ever since I moved away from home I’ve been struggling a lot and this video cheered me up and really made me feel okay and genuine happy and I really love the whole channel thank you so much :)
Same, somehow I went from depression and despair into calmness and curiosity:)
I hope you are having a good day today. We can do this together.
Arielle L yeah fish do that 😌🤗
It shocked me when your flowerhorn bumped up on the far left corner. XD
I jumped and I was like: "Oh shi- 😱"
Lol xP Did not expect that xD
That is the most beautiful ugly creature I’ve ever seen.
How DARE you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I *almost* feel stupid laughing, crying, and smiling about a fish
I've known about flowerhorns for years but unitil i got mine just recently I would have missed out on how great these fish are.
They have such great personalities and always interacting with people. They are very rewarding to keep and grow. They are generally very happy fish. Now i have 3 and I want more lol
"Girl don't need any humps"
Kim Kardashian flowerhorn: "Oh yes we do"
Thank you. Going through a difficult time and this really cheered me up. Discovered your channel recently and have been binge watching. Thank you for showing us the secret lives of these beautiful creatures🙏💐👍
I just discovered your channel by accident, and I am already in love with it. Your content is wonderful, keep it up!
I love that you love him.
That’s my favorite part.

It's a cute video~~ I like the music, too.
Cleo P hahahah i know.
Cleo P flowerhorns are ugly Period
Spandan Sardar ur just jealous
we used to have this kind of fish in our faculty room. he's got hella big forehead and bright red-pink body as far as I remembered.
Absolutely had no idea it requires extent of maintenance to get to that look!
Still don't know who owns that boy until today.
Now that's big brain energy
This video made me smile and laugh, thank you. :)
I love the thumbnail so much
Haha I have Ranchu and those guys are so curious and energetic, but ever since getting them I've noticed they also have that fascinating free movement of their eyes. Sometimes, they'll even blink when they watch me walk from room to room and I think its a really expressive and fascinating thing.
Such a fun video , I shared it! Thanks👏
he really found his fish soulmate. and then the poor fishy died. rip. you made many people cry😭
I just got one 2 weeks ago,they are amazing fish,
That Jurassic Park Clip is so true :) And it made me giggle :P
This is the cutest thing ever. I wish I could pet my arowana like this. Although my betta is always pretty chill about it
Flowers horns intelligence, colors, agressiveness and price is what make them special pet for anyone..
I just learned of these fish yesterday when I found your channel. New sub! They’re amazing! One of the first things I noticed was that they could move their eyes! So cute ^-^
I can't agree more then this
Flowerhorn is like a lil puppy to me
Imagine how it's gonna go when the owner finds out his big brain fish develops pyrokinetic abilities.
From the side He looks like he is consistently practicing how to blow smoke rings.
Flowerhorn: “Its lit.”
I really like they way that they swim.
This makes me so happy ahhhhh
I've got my pond fish in the bath atm. I filled it with the pond water when I emptied the pond. I decided the otherday to run the tap to airiate the water some the otherday, the loved it and started swimming under it then formed a train and were all swimming in formation round the bath. it's one of the reasons I'm taking long about re digging the pond I like watching them when I'm on the toilet

Head looks like ice cream and sprinkles
He's got a nice *big* *bulb* .

Awesome video.
Interesting imagination too. :)
I heard that when they come up to receive a pat they are actually trying to aggressively defend their territory which is perceived by us as affection? Can anyone confirm whether or not this is true?
Matthew Barton not true
Matthew Barton true
Mathew Barton maybe true
Kinky kind of love 😂

Espero tener uno algún dia💕
I love the jurassic park references
What a lil bad ass!
Big braaaaaain!
Yes bro they recognise human who feed and play with them
They got big brain

nice editing brother ........ but missing foo again.,.......................
All About Hobby what happened to Foo?
awesome bro
Look at that huge melon...of course he''s a genius! hehehe I never noticed that there are fish who can & cannot move their eyes! SO interesting.
Oh geez - it's a big bumper! Funny how girls don't need so much protection.
Reminds me of a Guild Navigator.
He's nice! Subbed
My juvenile fh is always hiding from me, but after he murdered my bards and rams, he came clean to me. I felt like a priest in the confession pit.
Doesnt all fish can move their eyes?
some fish have very limited eye movement. they have to move their body more to see.
I love Ur flowerhorns so cute and beautiful
plz make a video about short body flowerhorns.
Loved the video. What camera do you use?
I just used my phone. the big guy was shot a while back. I used LG g4. the small guy a few days ago. I used note 5.
So cute...
What is the perfect tank size for a large size flowerhorn?
The flowerhorn kinda looks derpy from its head
It's the same with a goldenfish! ^^

nice futurama referance
this proves that low quality fh can also get huge hump if u care of it properly
2 feet tank is good for partition for flower horn fish fry and 4 inch
Reply
_i kinda wanna pet a fish now_
Well...The hump is so big!!
You are a very good fish owner!
I had a flowerhorn and it also had a big hump...
