White tank vs Black Tank for rearing Flowerhorn
 

Any experts care to share the difference?

Or is it solely based on genes and quality food

black tank will darken your fish..

so means not as nice or take more time?

If lights not on for 4-8 hrs, Louhan will turn black, shine will be lost.

If black tank : make sure 4-8 hrs moderate lighting that's not too intense.

Shine as in from the pearl? currently pearl very shiny, the most dominant fish quite fair

Red tan light is on for more than 4 hours, tank also expose to some sunlight. Tan light used because spare de

Actually i asking because my friend and i bought the same batch of fries, he put his in white and i put mine in black...... curious to know the difference

When both of you enter competition, blue tank, your black tank fish will beat his white tank fish.

interesting..... i thought most feel light color tank better for grooming.....

any reason why you think black tank better? Because of the shiny pearl?

See for yourselves after you n your friend groom in black and white tanks.

thanks i shall see if there is a real difference.... i rearing more as hobby rather than competition though...

They are a bit like "chameleon". Their body colour intensity adapt to back ground intensity. But I doubt the effect can last more than 1-2 hours.

For example, Taiwan kkp sellers like to put their fishes with black back ground with red lights to max out the redness.
