A Brief Look At Why The Flowerhorn Kamfa Is Popular

What is the reason behind the Flowerhorn Kamfa’s popularity? And why do some fish enthusiasts want to add them to their collection. The reason is basically good luck. The protrusion found on the Flowerhorn Kamfa’s head is seen as a good luck charm by collectors in Asia. This is the reason why fish collectors, businessmen and the generally superstitious have take it upon themselves to have one of these fishes as their pet.

The Flowerhorn Kamfa’s head protrusion is known as the nuchal hump. It’s more colloquially called a kok, and is the source of the good luck. But there’s more to it than that. In addition to being a good luck charm, they are man-made breed.

Flowerhorn cichlids exist as a result of human breeding techniques, and newer breeds are being produced specifically for larger humps and more unique colors. What this means is that the Flowerhorn Kamfa is – in a way – exotic as it cannot be bred in the wild.

Despite the resilient nature of most breeds of Flowerhorn cichlid however, you should try to keep them comfortable. A water tank with a temperature of 80 to 85 F, and a pH of 7.4 to 8.0 should be ideal. You should also select a water tank with a considerable volume.

So given their popularity as good luck charm, their status as a man-bred fish and the relatively high amount of resources need to take care of them, it shouldn’t come as a surprise why taking care of a Flowerhorn fish appeals to many fish enthusiasts.
