Well, I think I need to change the thread title. He is no longer timid, by any means!
Extremely Timid Flowerhorn

I've added some more plants:
And a 4" sailfin pleco (that will get moved to the larger tank with Nanaue):
He looks better everyday!

Thank you!Looking good!
He probably would! He always gets into stuff. I love how much flowerhorns interact with their environment - other cichlids do, too, but every flowerhorn I've had has always been a fun "pet".
The pleco has done well so far - he tends to hang out under the sponge filter/on the wood/on the pots. No more aggression from Nanaue, that I've noticed.
I also kept a ball in my tank when mine was younger. I miss when my dude was still agile enough to zip around the tank like a lightning bolt. I've got rocks in with mine but it's much to small for him to attempt to go under it. It mostly there for the smaller guys to hide behind. Plants have been a no for me. Feeding him romaine a couple days a week early on may be why lol.
I need to get him a little ping pong ball! He does roll the moss ball around a bit. He spends a lot of time just combing the substrate for morsels of food!
So far, so good on the plants. Fingers crossed.
Nanaue looks like mischief...I'd definitely go with a floating ball and some large colorful shooter marbles on the bottom. My fish love rolling those around. A silk vine would give him something to drag around.
I'll have to pick some up the next time I think about it! I threw in a couple of game dice, and he's decided those are worth rolling around.
He's got the pots and such to hide in when he wants to! He usually just goes behind the sponge filter, lol. I've not seen him in those pots in weeks.
