Hello dear friends. Around 3.5 month ago someone got treat of one uaru and young flowerhorn. Well i knew its kind of fish to live alone. I did an experiment and decide to keep with my other american cichlids. Its high population in my 1000 liters. They getting different kind of quality food includes vegetables, also every week 50-70% water changes. Flowerhorn growed up like almost 2.5 times or even 3 times more. His hump also grows.. He isnt yet a lot agressive, just like every other cichlid. Well all of my cichlids are, all depence of them mood. But no big fights for 2 years. If there is any tiny chance i can keep him with others (ofcourse i would like to.. As my husband soon will kick ne out of the house with all ny aquariums, cats and dogs ?). OR i will have to think about other home for him? Here is him before and now. Ive been told its a golden base fader, but person bought it as red monkey ?. Thank you in advance, regards, Jelena.

Sounds like you got a mellow flowerhorn. I would say if it’s worked this long, it should be good, though I would have a backup tank handy in case things go south.
