ANSWER: Hi Srivatsa,
  The best thing you can do is to do lots of water changes to keep the fish happy and healthy. Clean water helps them grow to be their best.

fh   QUESTION: i am doing watwer changes regularly ,but i want to know, what food  i need to feed them to get good humphead for my flowerhorns.these are my flowerhorn pictures please tell me which of them are males and egt good head.

Answer
Hi Srivatsa,
 The hump gets largest on males.  They get a hump when they are sexually mature.  It is not something that you can make them do.  When the fish is strong and feels good, the hump on his
head will grow larger.  

  You cannot tell the sex of a flowerhorn just by looking at a picture.
