Flowerhorn fry question

[upgrade]

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering, i know FH breed at 4 inches+ but when is it best to separate the fry?

Do you give a 2 inch fish its own tank or put the fry in batches of 10 per 55G tank or give them their own 20 gallon tank?

if you use dividers how much room do you give the fish?

again this is for fry / young adults (2-4 inches)

Thanks!

Flowerhorn fry should be separate once their mature, meaning hatched. if fry do hatch separate the parent, BY THE WAY I'M A NEW MEMBER IN HERE.

Females can breed at 4'', males can't.

Iv seen FH fry on youtube and it seems that their all 1-2 inches / 6-8 weeks and still in the same tank with no divider.

that only work with a large amount of fry. As long as they don't have much room to make own territory then less killing.

thanks for the info, what would large amount be as far as fry per gallon?

i would separate the parent from the babies or else it will consume it's own babies
