Dither Fish W/ Flowerhorn?

[Kyle_91]

I also might try giant danios... that seems like they would be a good schooling fish in my 90g tank.

I got 4 silver dollars for my FH tank almost three years back...... I still have 3 of them; 1 bailed the tank. My verdict: excellent dither fish!

thanks for the input, how big/aggressive is your flowerhorn?

The one on my avatar is 12".... not so aggressive, but I had a couple 11" ones who were real mean n burly!...... In a 6 feet tank the dollars were fast enough to cohabit.....

I didn't know silver dollars were good DITHERS. My piranhas catch a sd easily but have do much trouble catching a giant danio till the point where they just give up. Gl tho!

I'll make my decision at the pet store and let everyone know lol

Sorry for late joining but maybe a few breeding cons as i think u don't want them to be eaten up and if ur fh is small u can try same sized or a bit bigger texas
cichlids

giant danios??? if and when your flowerhorn gets the chance it will swallow it whole in a second. The most successful dithers are tinfoils & balas, which are both schooling fish. Or an overstocked cichlid tank and addition of decorations that break line of sight. Seeing that my tinfoils and balas get tagged a lot, your danios won't have much success especially when they can be swallowed. Balas are slower, but they have pretty beefy scales like tinfoils. Tinfoils are fast and skiddish as **** when predators are around.

wow you had 3.5 inch fh with a 21inch aro thats insane

my aro is quite friendly to any fish that is small, anything larger then 6-7inch she will descale and rip apart... ie: thats just her personality... go figure??

I've already tried a texas that was 2" bigger than him..., He OUT-grew him in months and killed him.
