Overview

Big Head Flowerhorns are ornamental hybrid cichlids selected for strong colour and a pronounced forehead; development varies between individuals. Supplied size: 7–9cm. Size at sale is not adult size.

Behaviour

A powerful, territorial hybrid cichlid. Usually housed singly; do not assume two individuals will be compatible. Adults can reach 25–35cm.

Tank Size

Plan at least 350 litres with a 120 × 60cm base for one adult; 450 litres or more is preferable. Use robust filtration, a protected heater and secure smooth décor.

Compatibility

A single-specimen setup is generally the safest choice. Aggression can be severe even in a large aquarium.

Diet

Use quality cichlid pellets and suitable aquatic invertebrates. Avoid mammal meat and routine live feeder fish.

Care

Maintain stable water around 26–29°C, pH 7–8 and moderate to high hardness. Keep waste levels low and leave ample turning space. Use a fully cycled aquarium. Check appetite, breathing and equipment daily; test water regularly and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned, temperature-matched water and clean filter media in removed aquarium water.

Click & Collect only: order online and wait for confirmation before collecting from Newlands Home & Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not ship live animals.
