11'' flowerhorn tankmates

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a good suggestion for you. Maybe you should try a clownknife fish at about 12" long. The flowerhorn might beat up on him during the day but after one night. I guarantee that the flowerhorn will calm down. I only say that because clownknife fish are nocturnal and during the night or when the lights are off is when they are most aggressive. Give it a try. They also reach lengths of up to 3 feet long.
 
big fishes is not a good idea because your flowerhorn sees them as competitors.
try smaller blood parrots. but if you want to make sure, you can put a glass divider between them for a week.

but the difference with what you have is you fh is only 3 inch, he's is a 11 incher.. i think 11 incher will be alot aggressive than a 3 incher...

i say just put him in a tank of his own as you can see he doesnt do well with tank mates. :headbang2
