Grooming: Mirror Training

What’s the purpose of mirror training:
  • We keep our Flowerhorns solo without much interaction this essentially is a game, been such a aggressive fish they play with the mirror as if it was another Flowerhorn.
Pro’s of this are :
  1. Larger kok
  2. Stronger fins
  3. More active and attentive
Cons are:
  • Not all fish react well to this style training
  • Will actually get to intimidated which makes them shy and timid
  • Dropped kok
  • Sad fins, sometimes u have to slowly introduce them to the mirror

Timeframe:

  • Working up to 5-10mins Mirror grooming.
  • Feed them after grooming as reward.
