Absolutely, very cool fish. He was about 13" and very thick, but I didn't really have many problems with him being too aggressive. He did eventually beat up my large lyonsi (pictured above), and I wanted to heal the lyonsi up so I sold him. Cool fish though, would be a good wet pet.
Since the LFS called it a flowerhorn, I have been doing a ton of research on flowerhorns and don't know much about bar midas. Are they messy eaters and need heavy filtration like flowerhorns? Thanks for the replies!Here's a pic of my Hoga
Alright you convinced me, I'm going to pick him up after work. I have one pleco in each of my tanks right now but they are all only about 3 inches. Probably can't put one of those in with him right? I noticed that you had pebbles in your tank. I read that it's hard to clean the tanks with pebbles and it's better to keep it bare bottom. Do you agree with that? Thanks man, really appreciate it.
no problem happy to help. He might not bother the pleco, or might try to eat it. I probably wouldn't risk it with a 3"er, 5" or so would have a better chance. I like to keep substrate in my tanks, doesn't really make it much more difficult to clean and the fish enjoy digging/moving it around. Plus it looks much better. My vote would be to put some gravel in there.
I regret getting rid of him, He was extremely aggressive & would attack my hand when I preformed water changes, Amph's have great personality, I have two now that just spawned recently, In the process now of growing out the fry,
