What type of flowerhorn? Male or Female?

Do you think feeding it 4-5 times a day with brine shrimp a lot of protein will help it grow it lol big and size faster?

Feeding multiple meals a day is great for a growing juvenile fish but make sure your water doesn't get messed up. If you are feeding that often make sure your filtration is strong and you are doing 1--2 water changes of 30% per week. I would also include a quality pellet in the diet.

I change water when it get cloudy, because my tank is very heavy and long and I don't have a tube long enough so when I change water I have to push it all the way to the sink by myself and change it and then push it back....

I get that you're newer to keeping fish but you have to do things the right way if you want your fish to thrive and be healthy. Use a short hose and a 5 gallon bucket if you have to to change the water if you don't have access to a gravel vac. A flowerhorn that small isn't going to mess your water up much if you miss some water changes but it's a good habit to get into. Try to do 20% atleast once a week while he is little. When he grows you will need to do more. We were all new to fish keeping at one point. Boards like these are where you learn how to properly care for them. I'm not talking down to you or anything like that. Fish keeping is a learning experience. Every day can bring something new. Take our advice and your fish will grow up to look great and you'll be happy with it
