hey guys I have small 5 inch flowerhorn and large new 220 gallon tank for him
I made this tank for him only
I want opinion which fish I can keep with him?
7-8 parrots ?
 
i would never put parrots with a flowerhorn. they cant defend themselves. look at midas/devils/buttikoferi/jags etc


parrots are like retards and i kept them with gouramis and tetras before i knew about the cruel deformities/process
 
dont go for bigger aggressive fish because they will challenge the flowerhorn for dominance, rather look at a few convicts and stuff like that
 
parrots will do..just make sure they r not too small and dont get killed..infact it shall be better for the growth of the flowerhorn if u do manage to keep the parrot with it.if its a good quality flowerhorn dont put more than 2 parrots with it.
 
i would keep a FH by itself
 
the only thing that would happen is a flowerhorn would beat the hell out of the parrots.
 
I am keeping the more parrot so my flowerhorn's aggression would not concentrate on particular one
+ it's 220 gallon tank and I will be adding hiding places for parrots

Blood Parrots are not "retards". Some are actually quite aggressive and can cause damage/kill other fish. Especially if breeding.
Anyway... I say do 2-4 Blood Parrots at the most. Some FH's will not tolerate any tankmates, though. So be prepared to put them into a different tank if he gets too aggressive with them.
