Flowerhorn cichlids are ornamental aquarium fish noted for their vivid colors and the distinctively shaped heads for which they are named. Their head protuberance is formally called a nuchal hump. Like blood parrot cichlids, they are hybrids that exist in the wild only because of their release.

✦require a tank size of at least 55 gallons. Maintain a water temperature between 78-82°F (25-28°C) and a pH level of 6.5-7.5. Provide a mix of open swimming space and hiding spots. Feed them a high-quality pellet-based diet supplemented with occasional live or frozen foods. Keep the tank well-filtered and perform regular water changes. Avoid keeping them with other aggressive fish. Monitor their behavior and health closely, as they are prone to certain health issues such as swim bladder problems and hole-in-the-head disease.
