Flower horn setups

[Isaac_o56]

i am getting a flower horn and i was wondering if anyone knows what kind of setups or have any pics of setups and what environment they come from.

They don't occur in the wild at all but a typical SA/CA cichlid works well for them. A single flowerhorn should have at least a 60-75 gallon tank to itself with either gravel or sand substrate and some hiding spots. I like to use flower pots from Home Depot because they work well as caves and are very inexpensive. Hope this helps!

Ok thank you so much do u think that i would be able to make it look like a mangrove setup with drift wood and have good hiding places for him and how big do they usually get.

I don't have hiding places for my bigger ones. Mine is about 10-11 inches but can get huge. I had one that was 14 inches but had him for a few years. I have driftwood in mine no probe on. I used to keep pots in my tank but took them out went for the driftwood sand look
