You just get rid of that pleco in the meantime you upgrade setup. For your solo FH I'd say as a minimun you'd need a 55 gal, however in this hobby when you think about getting a tank, get the biggest you can afford.

Yeah, will put back the pleco once I bought a bigger tank.

Cool...just enjoy the hobby and learn as you go. We've started from scratch. Thats what maks this hobby so captivating, always learning something new!! Some much to learn especially with the hybrids...flowerhorns! Have fun !
 
If you like the pleco I respect that, this hobby is about what you like regarding fish but honestly I'd keep the FH solo or as much I'd eventually try to find him/her a couple.
 
Armand is right, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves when thinking about getting a mate for your fish. While it is true that Cichlids and their hybridized kin show their best colors when with a mate and this brings a whole new level of enjoyment to the hobby, I think Leviathan needs to focus on the basics of providing a suitable home for his current fish, do some more research (read the forums and ask questions), and then down the road he could look into that.
No one will fault you for asking questions (at least they shouldn't if they are honest questions with a firm basis in reality), but you will have people flaming you in a heartbeat if they think you are not listening to their advise or providing what your fish need.
Good luck with you FH, can't wait to see some pics of it when it is in a larger tank and gets some size on it.
