flowerhorn compatibility

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mixing FH is hit and miss. There is no general rule since each FH personalities can vary. You just have to try it out and be prepared to move it.
 
thats basically my plan, i only worried about my electric blue jack but im giving the fish a lot of space to hide
 
I just got a tiny FH (maybe 2 inches long) and put him in a tank with 3 silver dollars (about twice the size of the FH) and a pleco knowing full well he probably wouldn't like them. So far he has killed the 2 slow silver dollars. The last one seems to be pretty quick and can race around the tank without getting nipped at. Not sure the FH has even noticed the Pleco yet because he's so dosile. They have been in the tank together for about 2 weeks now and the FH seems less aggressive towards the last silver dollar.
 
yea i havent introduced him yet but im nervous hopefully he gives up quicker and doesnt murder my pleco
 
I tried with Bichir and the Bichir beat the **** out of my FH lolol
I mean they were like best buddies for 3 months though :D
I accidentally tried 3cm FH fry with 5cm EBJD and the EBJD got wasted (Fins were all torn)
 
so update on the 220 flowerhorn was put in last night
i have an oscar, ebjd, festae, green terror, 2 convicts, texas, robertsoni and now the flowerhorn

the flowerhorn chases but not very far, his back fin is split from i think the convict, but hes eating and seems to enjoy the space
 
the convicts have been removed and the pleco has been added the tank is happy, the flowerhorn is happy, he chases but doesnt bite or kill, dont even notice the EBJD

so far a success but anything can change
