Question

I went out for a week. before going i have changed water. and kept environmentclean. and also i observed that fish is good. After i went. it started to sit around corner
i insist my parents to give feeding at regular interval. it has never taken any food. and also it is not active.

when i came back. it started to move up and down. now it is eating well. what do you think of it?

Answer
Hi Prakash,
  That behavior is not limited to flowerhorns.  Many of the larger Central and South American cichlids get very attached to their people.  They can easily tell one person from another and respond differenly to each person.
