would i need a hood my tank.

I dunno . . . the tank you described is only a 20G long . . . that's about the smallest size I'd have for a full-grown male Firemouth, let alone putting more fish with him . . .

if I had to give him any room-mates, it'd be little guys: corey cats, loaches, bristlenose pleco, that kind of thing . . .

I could see adding a female FM for a pair . . . it's tight, but workable

my firemouth is only 1.5 inche ,iam feeding him on catfish pellent,flake food and bloodworns,how long does it take to grow into a adult and what would be a good grow out tank size be. thanks

when i get a job i will be getting a 4ft tank and a 5ft tank so he go in there. If he fine with stingray then he will be going in the 5ft tank ,then if he don't then he is going in the 4ft tank.

i might get some small clown loaches becuase they have a slow grow rate and they look nice.
