Hi Vicvel,

I was not very sure about this before, but now i think i can answer you.

It's actuualy like this, SOME flowerhorns, they do spit out what they eat and eat it again when they are torn or tear into tiny pieces. Actually i saw it from 1 of my flower horn. I'm currently keeping 5 flower horns, but only 1 of them do this all of the time, and he do take the food again when he spit it out, Excluding live fish.

4 other Flowerhorn do it sometimes too, but not too often, and i believe that they like softer food, so for pallets, they eat it and they put in their mouth to mix up with the water, and spit them out to make it softer and "soaked"

But these are only my thoughs!

Cheers,
John
