I recently gave away Slash, my arowana and clarius to a friend.... I added 3 fh fry to my collection instead ... The pics are crappy since they are 1/2 inch each and in a 20 gallon long tank.. It gets hard to spot them, leave alone take pics.. Hopefully in 1 month they will look a lot better...

I do not want to take names of the seller who sold me these fh, lets just say that under the circumstance I was fortunate enough to get these 3 fh...

thank you Bud and Tina

I shall post updates every 15 days, I hope these guys survive the initial settling down period and grow to be good looking fh :)
These 3 tiny tots run for their life when ever I go near the tank.. Any ideas to help me make them comfortable? I cant even get a decent pic since they are so darn scared... Should I add gravel or some decorations?

I did manage to get a pic of fh #1, I had to take 10 pics to get this lousy one...

Yeah i tried keeping flowerhorn in empty tanks before and they were so frantic and their colors were dull. They just were uncomfortable. I added a little decoration and they calmed down and brightened up. Its just the sense of security. You would feel more comfortable in a room with furniture and colors than being in a room that had nothing but white walls all around u. Or maybe even make that just all glass wall and thats it : P
