Ok, now I am intrested in the Flower Horns...I think they are very beautiful! So, What kinds of fish can I put one with, I have a 125 w/ a Black Aro, and a couple of big polys...I also have a 92 corner with a mono, a couple of smaller polys and an archer...which tank would I be able to put one in...Are they an a agressive fish?

It looks like an Argentinus Mono, but its shape is a little different, and it has vertical black stripes on its body, looks almost like an anglefish, they are brackish(sp?) fish, but they can go straight salt too. A reall neat fish! (MONODACTYLUS SEBAE) check them out!

Hope this link works...
Those things are brackish/saltwater arent they?Yep...my 92 corner is brackish...I did have an Argentinus Mono, but it died..I had it for about 3 years, it had some sort of "bloat" condition I could not cure. The Sebae I have is about 5 years old.
Flowerhorns are very aggressive. The larger the tank the better. The flowerhorn will need several fish equal are bigger to be in a community tank. As the Flowerhorn gets older and bigger you may have to get a tank just for it depends on the fish and how aggressive.
How about an oscar & a siamese tiger...can I put one with them? They are in a 90gal together now...
flowerhorns are soo aggro that even if you put one into a well established tank with fish that have thier own territories the fh will claim the whole tank to themselves. i havent kept any fish alive for more than a week in with my fh. i also have a trimac that is 10x as aggro as my fh. both are the same deal with tankmates. you might have to lose some fish in the process of getting a fh or have to spend more money on another tank. hope all goes well.
