50g for a flowerhorn?

[twk1]

Well if you want to keep a Flowerhorn in a 50 gal. for life, you should get a SB (shortbody) Flowerhorn. Or else go with a 75 gal.

You will know when you see one. Its pretty self-explanatory.
They look ugly IMO. Their SB look "AS IF" they're deformed.
They sort've remind me of the parrotfish, if you're into that.

seems sad to me for a fish that big to only be able to go within 4 feet its entire life.I know they are teritoriol but dang.I used to just do that stuff when i was younger because i didnt think of the big picture but now i see how they pay atention to you and stuff and im like,what the hell am i making you live in.Oh well,good luck.What goes around comes around.Get some firemouths or gold sevs or something.

yea, i wouldn't want a unhappy FH i just started this thread to get some info on FH's because i really like how they look and they interest me. ill probably still turn the 50gl into a convict breeding tank or maybe a African cichlid community tank, in till i can save up for a 75gl or maybe even bigger.

thank you everyone for your replys and the info it helps out allot.
