11'' flowerhorn tankmates

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Have you thought about red parrots? The ones i have had dont know the meaning of the word 'fear' and they can hold there own if there big enough.
 
I have a 10 inch male flower horn in a 75gallon and was able to get a male red devil about the some size to live with it. it took a few trys taking the fish out and puting them back in the tank, try a devider for a little while. they might just start getting along. but there is most defintily going to be war at first.

but apart from biggggggggg cats i cfould only keep my 10" with a female and she kicked his butt i nearly lost him and he cxost me $300au
 
maybe a con pair but i really dont recomend anything but a xxl pleco but they poop more than they clean.
 
100 gallon isnt really large enuf for a tank mate...however if you really wanna tank mate, i would suggest large male cichlids..maybe umbee/dovii/festae/ maybe a jag...it's gonna be a time of trial n error...good luck :thumbsup:

SPECTACULAR....i'm impressed!!
 
dude, if your gonna go with anything i second(or third) the yellow lab african, they are a whole different aggression scale, they actually might pick on you FH, i have a couple in my SA tank with breeding RD, seriously , the bigger S cichlid like have respect for em, and even if they wanted to eat em , they'd have to catch em first...have you ever tried to catch one of those little b**tards in a 200+G tank? the only thing is that the PH levels are different but mine dont seem to have a problem in low PH. id just get like 2 if any ... good luck!!!!
