75g flowerhorn tankmates

[Rocksor]

No? I have a steady wc schedule

25% and 40%…if I recall. Not enough if you get more fish.. you need to up your water changes if you get a second fish even if you do get a bigger tank. If you can’t do 50g+ water change over a weeks time, then you should think hard about getting a second fish to a 75g.

I plan on adding a few more plants that he could use to hide in.

Raphs prefer caves over plants.

40-60%. 2-3 times a week

Is there any other armored catfish other than plecos that I could do?

Yea I realized that it didn’t really look like much water being taken out so I’ve started taking out more

Hoplo might work.

Hoplo might work.

What about flagtail catfish? Would it be possible to do maybe 2 of those or just one of that would be better, they grow to about 4-5”

Looks like they need groups and can’t take a hit like other species.

It would increase bio load with whatever u get. I’d recommend looking into some armored cars like Deadeye said. Hoplo cats are a good option. If you don’t mind a very increased bio load u can do some small plecos. I personally think you’re better off with a bare bottom no decor and no tank mate tank imo. I find it’s better for the fh and better for the keeper. A few days ago U said daisy got the scrapes on her head. No decor, gravel or tank mates will not 100% eliminate injuries but significantly help.

Not sure how an open glass lobster tank is good for the fish. The owner yeah, the fish no. Also piss poor surface beneficial bacteria.

Silk floating vines work. U can also paint/cover the sides. Sand. Smooth stones at the bottom. It can be done easily. More glass equals more reflections/shadows to spook at. Another trick is to silicone filter foam on the sides and back. Gives padding, looks good and has great bacterial surface.
