Shall I start with hikari cichlid bio gold then?
Coz I had seen this food at the place where I am going to bring her from and I already have dried shrimp and mealworms which I don't know if I should feed them
They should be fine as treats but not as a main diet. But yeah hikari bio gold should work just fine too. The only reason I use the BP formula is just because it helps boost red colors, but with your kamfamalau that wouldn't work anyways since it's basically got no red color.

Btw the only other thing I would recommend is to atleast fast the fish once a week to help keep em on the thinner side. FH's tend to get allot of health issues when it comes to having a big gut, so keeping that gut nice and lean will help prevent a good majority of em.

I purchased hikari cichlid gold and bio gold to feed her.
Is aquarium salt a necessity in a flowerhorn tank?
I haven't put any yet but the person who is selling it asked me to put salt in the tank based on the size of the tank.
So can you tell me if it is required coz I thought it's used only as a medication. I currently have API aquarium salt and Himalayan pink salt so if salt is required I can add it to the tank immediately.
Thank you for all advice it really is helping a lot...

No it's not necessary. It can help in some treatments but other then that I view it as pointless to have in the tank 24/7.
