{"product_id":"super-red-dragon-srd-flowerhorn","title":"Super Red Dragon (SRD) Flowerhorn 3\" Juvenile Fish","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn SRD (Super Red Dragon) Flowerhorn at 3 inches is in its vital juvenile \"grooming\" phase, where its potential for intense red coloration and a massive nuchal hump (kok) is just beginning to show. At this size, the fish is highly adaptable, responsive, and ready for specialized care to maximize its genetic potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrategic Diet Rotation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorning Feeding: Give high-protein growth and head-building pellets when their metabolism is highest to support frame and kok structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvening Feeding: Switch to premium color-enhancing pellets rich in astaxanthin, spirulina, or high-quality freeze-dried krill to deepen the red pigment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortion Control: Feed 4 to 5 tiny meals daily that are completely eaten within 2 minutes. Fast the fish for one full day every week to prevent bloating and internal infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrict Exclusions: Never feed fresh mammalian or avian meat (like chicken or beef heart). They cannot digest these fats, which leads to fatal intestinal blockages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialized Environment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTank Setup: Keep the fish completely solo. Flowerhorns are highly aggressive and will fight or become chronically stressed by tank mates. Use a minimum tank size of 40 gallons for a juvenile, keeping in mind they eventually grow to 10–12 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater Conditions: Maintain a stable temperature between 28°C to 30°C. Use strong filtration and perform 20–30% weekly water changes; pristine water quality is a primary trigger for kok development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInteraction \u0026amp; Mental Stimulation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMirror Exercise: Place a small mirror against the glass for 5 minutes, once or twice a day. This causes the fish to flare and \"fight\" its reflection. The hormone rush from this territorial display directly stimulates nuchal hump growth and heightens aggression and color.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53462675063081,"sku":null,"price":174.25,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/4325\/2521\/files\/Jasmin-20260831_233633_0000.png?v=1788205557","url":"https:\/\/jasminaquaticsstore.com\/products\/super-red-dragon-srd-flowerhorn","provider":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
