Care Requirements

• Lifespan: Flowerhorn Cichlids can live for 10 to 12 years with proper care and a suitable environment.
• Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 75 gallons is recommended for a single Flowerhorn due to their territorial nature and potential size (up to 12-16 inches in length).
• Temperature: Maintain water temperatures between 78-82°F (25-28°C) to ensure their health and well-being.
• Water Quality: Flowerhorns are sensitive to water quality, so regular water changes and efficient filtration are crucial to keep ammonia and nitrite levels low.
