Kamfa Flowerhorn

The Kamfa Flowerhorn is a breathtaking centerpiece freshwater fish renowned for its electric color palette, bold patterns, and a distinctive head hump that commands attention in any aquarium. This striking hybrid cichlid blends dramatic aesthetics with a dynamic, intelligent personality, making it a true showpiece for serious aquarists who crave a conversation-starting focal point.

Key features

• Vibrant coloration and intricate patterns that shimmer under aquarium lighting, giving each fish a unique, flower-like appearance.
• Distinctive kok (nuchal hump) that grows as the fish matures, adding to its impressive silhouette.
• Bold, confident temperament and lively swimming; thrives in a structured, spacious environment with appropriate tank mates.
• Hybrid lineage—a cultured Flowerhorn cichlid known for robust health when housed with proper care and care routines.

Care & habitat

• Tank size: provide a large aquarium, ideally 125 gallons (500 liters) or more for adults, with ample swimming space and secure filtration.
• Water parameters: warm tropical conditions—approximately 26–30°C (79–86°F), pH 7.4–8.0, and moderate hardness. Consistent stability is key to vibrant color and health.
• Filtration & maintenance: strong filtration, regular monitoring, and frequent partial water changes (about 25% weekly) to maintain pristine water quality.
• Diet: a varied, high-quality regimen of cichlid pellets, frozen or live foods, and occasional treats to support color and growth. Feed 2–3 times daily, removing uneaten food promptly.
• Tank setup & compatibility: provide open swimming space, rockwork or caves for territorial behavior, and a lid to prevent jumps. Best kept alone or with equally robust, non-nervous tank mates; avoid small, slow, or timid fish and overly aggressive species.

Ideal use cases

• Centerpiece show tank in a dedicated freshwater setup designed for experienced hobbyists.
• Educational display to showcase hybrid cichlid biology, color genetics, and aggressive territorial behavior in a controlled environment.
• Inspiration for advanced aquascaping with bold color contrasts and dramatic lighting to highlight the Kamfa’s hues.

With its unforgettable color bursts, dramatic head structure, and engaging personality, the Kamfa Flowerhorn is more than a fish—it’s a statement species for those who value spectacle, investment in proper care, and the reward of a thriving, conversation-worthy aquarium centerpiece.
