i recently bought a few flowerhorn fry... at the LFS they were all together, is it ok if i keep it that way? or should i seperate them asap? plz help
 
how large are they now? its ok to keep them in a community for a while as long as there are many of them and the tank is large. in time, their territorial nature will be xpressed and they will start to fight one another resulting to injuries
 
the biggest one is about a inch an a half, i've been watching them, they dont seem territorial yet, but when they are ill prolly seperate em, thx for the info
 
they should be fine till they reach about 3.5 and up. i had 5 together till they were about 4 inch. after that i started to see more fighting. and they tried to pair off. this is a pic of them when they were together.


by the way what kind of FH are they? and plz show pics would love to see them.

iono what kind they are cause im new to the whole flowerhorn type thing, but ill try to get some pictures when i get a chance
 
they are mid grade Zhen Zoe also called ZZ. :) i would like to get a few different strains. like Kamfa's AKA Jin Hua. GM AKA golden monkeys. i been raising fish for over 20+ years. mostly angels. but the last year and a half i got into the flower horns. i know there is more ppl on the west coast of the US that are big into the hobby. i have learned a lot for other forums. and i thank these ppl that are willing to share there knowledge. and there love. for this jewel of the fresh water world. :):nilly::nilly::nilly:

o ok well you can go to bennys tropical and he has some fh for very cheap because he is closing the shop down maybe u can get a dif stran from him ;)
 
hmmm... today when i got home the smallest fry was all torn up, there not even 2 inches yet... i think its a time to like buy dividers for the tank and seperate em, cause the smallest one is pretty beat up, its like the teamed up
