im not sure about the dimensions of the tank.. its a normal 50gal tank that i bought at a pet shop.

do u think its too big for 1 flowerhorn?

It may be too small...... I had one in a 55 that I felt was pushing it. as long as it can turn around and has some room to swim back and forth it should be ok.

well, it will grow into that tank fairly quickly I'd leave it by itself to get the true colors out of it.
