i was wondering if it would be ok to put my flowerhorn in with the datnoids and a bichir. the flowerhorn is still about 2 inches so its smaller then the other fishes. any opinion. im gonna end up taking it out when the flowerhorn reaches certain length.
 
How big are the other fishes in there? If they are A LOT bigger, then i don't suggest it. And if you feed your Datnoids live feeders... then ABSOLUTELY NOT! (that flowerhorn is too good to become a feeder)!
 
i wouldnt do it. i;ve heard FH are aggressive so either your FH will bully everyone in the tank or the dats will be large enough to eat the FH
 
Wouldn't do it, the FH might harrass the others too much...depends what size the dats currently are
 
I would'nt. The FH might bully the dats into hiding.
 
hahah ive tried it for 30 mins see how it turns out. it turned out to be a disaster my flowerhor end up chasing everything in the tank. hes only 2 inches and the others are 4-5 inches. so i threw him back in the 10 gallon.
 
yup, it was a complete failure i almost lost my bichir. i scooped it up before the flowerhorn bit off its head
