Origin:
A selectively bred hybrid cichlid developed in Asia, with the Zhen Zhu line originating in China and now popular worldwide among Flowerhorn enthusiasts.
Feeding:
Carnivorous and omnivorous – thrives on a high-quality pellet diet, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as krill, bloodworms, shrimp, and occasional vegetables. A varied diet enhances coloration and kok growth.
Tank Mates:
Best kept alone or in very large aquariums with other large, aggressive cichlids. Not recommended for community setups due to territorial aggression.
