What is a flower cichlid?
as an artificial hybrid, Cichlid Flowerhorn is a tropical freshwater fish, which is assumed that it has been selectively kept from a number of other natural species, including a parrot of blood, an Oscar, Red Devil, Texas Cichlid and others. There are many different partial variants with differences in color, marking and size and shape of lump protrusion at the top of the head. Since it is not a natural creature, there is a significant controversy surrounding scientifically cichlid, physical and philosophical. Despite its poor general health and increased probability of the disease, this fish is able to tolerate a wide range of conditions. It is an extremely aggressive carnivore and has caused localized devastation and extinction in areas where it was released into the wilderness. Like medium to lower feeding, Flowerhorn's cichlid samples will have any type of carnivorous flakes, pellets, frozen, fresh or living foods. Due to their higher riskIt is advisable to regularly provide food enriched with vitamins to support good health.
flower cichlids are extremely aggressive and should be maintained alone. He attacks any other cichlids and tries to eat any other friends from the tanks. It is even common for the opposite pairs to fight, cause extensive damage to each other or fight death. It is therefore often necessary to separate a couple with a strong partition in the tank until the aggression passes. Keepers should also be aware that these fish often try to bite the guards if they have the opportunity.
aggression can be so extreme that Flowerhorns often damages themselves in the tank, especially the head and mouth, when the rams or attacking the tank or the side of the tank head first. For this reason, it is necessary to use only smooth decorations without corners or sharp protrusions. The tank must be inYrobena of robust, reinforced materials, because it is known that these fish break poor tanks.
As with other hybrid species, there are many controversies surrounding Cichlid Flowerhorn. Poor general health and significantly increased risk of certain diseases such as tumors have caused debate on ethics and morality of deliberate creation of new species. Another cause of concern is the continuing breeding of this kind, which is known that harmful properties occur very often, such as the ability of Flowerhorn cichlid to seriously destroy the entire ecosystem.
Despite the higher risk of illness or poor health, Cichlid Flowerhorn is very resistant to and survive in a number of conditions, which means that many of the discarded fish will survive. This creates another problem surrounding the creation of Cichlid Flowerhorn and other species of man is a serious danger that they can present if they are released into nature. As an alien species relaxed into the environment has a cichlid flowerhorn or any other outsideEarth's species potential to destroy the established ecosystem, causing irrevocable damage, erase of native flora and fauna. This disruption has already happened in parts of Malaysia and Singapore, where unscrupulous flower pot breeders eliminated undesirable supplies to local water formations, because the fish either not attractive, have smaller heads or other deformities.
Released fish breed and reproduction very quickly, consume or simply kill many native specimens. Without restriction, imprisonment or limitation of their food, these fish are doing well and grow much larger than in the tank environment. Terdic aggression and greedy appetite mean that they absorb or kill almost anything on their way. The Vice President of the Malaysian Fishermen Association said that the situation is extremely serious, because many native species are immediately endangered, and some species have already suffered localized extinction.
