flower horns and fronts

[jgdelgado]

I just picked up 10 red flowerhorn fry and I want to put them in a 200 gallon with 25 burundi fry......now I know I should know better but I know little of flowerhorns and there nature...Is it possible to combine the two species with out fatalities....Thanks for the help

No, it will be a frontosa massacere. The only way you would get away with it for a shor time is if the fronts are at least three times bigger than the FH's

oh well thanks, I suppose ill move the fh to a 40 gallon for now, do they grow fast? and will they end up killing each other?

Yes and yes. With good care they will grow FAST and they will just start killing each other immediately. When we get them in at work(ps) they each usually get their own tank with some other unrelated and bigger fish types so they don't get killed or kill anyone.
