How do you identify a flowerhorn gender?

Answer 1

When they're mature, it is very obvious; males develop huge nuchal humps atop their foreheads, while females have little or no hump. However, as juveniles, there is no reliable way to sex them. Pellets are a good staple. If you want to improve growth and color, live and frozen foods, like crickets, earthworms, bloodworms, mysis, and the like are good choices.

We can know a flower horn whether it is male or female by looking at its face if its sharp its female and if its short its male

Males are exceptionally brightly colored and display a lump above their head (only in mature males), sometimes the lump is greatly exaggerated in size which makes the fish highly prized by collectors and breeders.

Gently squeezing the abdominal region may reveal the papillae.. Male Flowerhorns will have broader body with higher dorsal, anal and caudal fins. It is also observed that male Flowerhorns will have thicker jawline and more distinctive body color.
