So I have a 150 gallon tank and I'm wanting to put my all my baby Flowerhorn in and I'm wanting to know if it will be okay to keep all them in for life. I have 4 red dragon, 1 super red dragon, 2 Thai silk Flowerhorn, 1 red devil and 3 albino channel catfish. I am thinking about getting rid of 2 of the red dragon Flowerhorns, because the others are out growing them and they are starting to get bullied.
 
Just tried to put my SKKPxRD with a smaller Rainbow Flowerhorn. Scales were flying.. Flowerhorns are mean, he bullied the larger fish all over the tank. But with all of them together instead of 2, I guess it might work. I'm just a novice though, I'd wait for the pros to chime in.
 
Even with all that room and you can throw in all the decorations you want for them to evade attacks, the dominant one will shine and you won't get to enjoy the potential of the others. I've seen videos of flowerhorn farms overseas that keep hundreds in grow out containers where they all look great...with that many, they compete for food and not territory.
 
I would take "the one " out and give him his own tank, and you could try the others
