Can I keep a flower horn with these fish

[Oscar_fishkeeper]

Hi everyone I know this tank is overstocked I’m getting rid of some of the fish but I have a 120 gal tank 5 foot long 19 inch wide and my stocking in it just now is one 6-7 inch Oscar one 5 inch jd 2 kissing Gouramis 5.5 inches 2 flag tails ones 5.5 inches ones 5, one female rainbow cichlid 3 to 3.5 inches
And one pleco 6-7 inches. The flower horn would be 4 to 5 inches and I will probably be getting rid of the kissing Gouramis the rainbow cichlid and one or both of the flag tails.

Any help would be great

Flowerhorn would probably kill all of those fish over time. Very few actually get along with others. Only one that might have a shot is the pleco.

Should I still give it a go? I would be getting him Saturday and when I go get him I could see his aggression level

Ok thanks for the response and I know it can go either ways. Because someone at my local fish store had put a flower horn in there tank and it killed most of the other fish over night but I’m gonna keep a close eye on the tank and sit onfront of it for a couple hours and see if there’s any aggression and if there’s to much I’ll put him in another tank but thanks again for ur response.

Don’t waste your time or money. You won’t know he’s bad until he starts killing. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

Short answer is no. Long answer? Just no.

Your tank is beautiful. If what you got going on is already working then be glad. Adding a flowerhorn would be reckless. And I would rehome both flagtails. They get pretty massive.

I wouldn't suggest it. And if so I hope your not super attached to your other guys. Flowerhorns are amazing I absolutely love them ! Grumpy in my mind but really awesome personalities
