I'm thinking about getting. My hands wet with hybrids and would like to start with flowerhorns. Are their any special needs for these fish that I should be aware of, and how long would one be alright in a 55
and be in mind, a 3-4inch flowerhorn showing signs of good genetics - flowering, kock, elongated fins - will cost a pretty decent amount of money as compared to other fw fish and don't have the life longevity of many other fish because of the fact they are hybridized line after line .My moms Oscar that's in the 125 is old, I mean really really old. So if he's still alive in another year or so I'll get the flowerhorn a new tank but I don't think the Oscar will live that much longer
