I have an empty 110. I want to get a SRD Flowerhorn guy is selling fry for $65 i dont know if thats cheap or expensive but on the internet they go for like 500. I ahve alot of questions.

Is a 110 enough for a flowerhorn?

Can they breed with any type of cichlid?

How are their aggression? Is it different because that they are a hybrid? Does That have an effect?

Do you need special equipment for them since they are hybrids?

This is the one i want

1. Is a 110 enough for a flowerhorn?

Yes that is enough

2. Can they breed with any type of cichlid?

No, they can only breed with other Central American Cichlids, check out this thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...1-Rules-of-Hybridization-In-American-Cichlids

3. How are their aggression? Is it different because that they are a hybrid? Does That have an effect?

They are very aggressive and seldom tolerate other tank mates, if you intend to breed use a divider until they are in breeding mode to avoid them attacking each other.

4. Do you need special equipment for them since they are hybrids?

No, just clean water around 80-84f
 
IMO you could get a better quality fish for around 100-120 if you're OK with ordering fish online.

Your tank is plenty big.

Fh can cross with many if not all ca cichlids, no special treatment is required, treat it as any ca cichlid and it'll be fine. Aggression will depend on the personality of your fish, some do OK in cichlid community tanks, some can't stand any fish being around them, the latter being most common.

$65 is kinda pricey for fry unless the parents are top quality.

Julie Tran is have a sale on some of her Flowerhorn for $50, shipping would be probably $40-45 for overnight. Much higher quality than the probable fry you are looking at. I have dealt with her several times in the past and is one of the most respected members of the Flowerhorn Community https://www.facebook.com/AquaCraze/posts/631732420176639
