DOVII HYBRID (FLOWERHORN) with oscars

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think it is very possible. I kept my flowerhorn with 2 oscars for almost a year. They would prob still be together today, but I moved to washington and decided to only keep my flowerhorn. Everything was nice and peaceful in the time they were together. I think it all depends on the individual temperment of your fish. It will be difficult, but not impossible. My only advice would be to try it in a bigger tank than a 70. For the amount of fish you have I would go 180 or larger.
 
But be careful because flowerhorn are very fierce and do not mix around.. PLUS oscar are territorial, if that is an established oscar tank, the oscar will be intimated at the beginning, and may bully your smaller flowerhorns.

Make sure ur flowerhorn is at least half OR 3/4 of its size..
However, no direct answer.. you need to find out and observe.. I'm rearing 2 OSCARs, they definately are big bullies..
 
watch this, found from YT, its just a 6ft tank.
