Questionhow to recognize flower horn is male or female. plsss i want 2 know wether my fh is male or female nd 1 more thing does female also grow hump.. plsss rply sirr
AnswerHi Nikhil,
There is no perfect way to tell male from female flowerhorns. Males are going to be more robust and carry their weight more in the chest and less in the belly, but telling the sex of these takes a fair bit of experience. Both sexes can grow the hump, though the hump on a male will typically be larger than that on a female (but not always).
