The Luck Bearing Fish

Have you ever walked in a shop and wondered why an awkwardly looking fish is staring at you? You might question the aesthetic appreciation of the owner for keeping what seems to be an ugly fish. If you would ask the owner or the keeper of the store, they would tell you that the fish is the bearer of good luck. What you are seeing is what is called the Flowerhorn cichlid. These so called lucky fish has been popular to business owners. Due to their association with bringing great fortune, the Flowerhorn sale has been proliferating mostly in the Asian countries.

Flowerhorn cichlids are a result of cross breeding different species of South American cichlids. It was developed in Malaysia in the mid 90's. Until now, the specific species that were used in creating the said lucky fish is still known only to those who developed the fish. Male and Female Flowerhorn looks almost the same. One must be very critical to determine the difference. The anal pore of the fish once it has reached a certain size is used to differentiate between the two. A female flowerhorn would have a U shaped anal pore while a V Shaped anal pore would indicate a male flowerhorn.

The flowerhorn sale is not greatly affected by the sex of the fish. That is because both the markings on the sides and the hump on the head are present in male and female flower horn. The markings on the side of the flowerhorn cichlids are sometimes seen as something that resembles Chinese characters. A fish with a pronounced marking will be considered very special. The hump on the head of the fish, on the other hand, makes the fish resemble the Chinese God of Longevity.

It is rather easy to keep a flowerhorn cichlid. A spacious aquarium is required. Up to three flowerhorns are allowed to be kept in a single aquarium. If more than one fish is to be kept, however, there should be enough accessories or items that would make the territories of the fish separate and distinct. Small variations in the condition of the water would not bother the resilient fish much. A neutral or alkaline water is best in keeping the fish. Water with a lower pH would fade the color of the fish.

The flowerhorn cichlid is kept because people believe it is lucky or just merely because of its interesting appearance. Regardless of the reason, the flowerhorn fish will always be one of the more popular fish to be kept.
