Question
I want to breed flower horn but I dont know what to do.

Answer
Hi Celvin,
 First, you need a rather large aquarium, something on the order of 80 to 100 gallons.  It isn't hard to breed them, the hard part is keeping them from killing one another.  That takes a big tank and you have to watch them very carefully because one can kill another in a confined space in a matter of hours (or even less).  Basically, provide them with a large flat surface (like a rock or piece of slate) on which to lay eggs and that's all they need.
