So I have a 5 inch fh in a 200gal tank he's been a loner in the tank since he was 1inch long so what would be a good tank mate with him that can defend itself...
Flowerhorn tank mate

Yea I tried that and theflowerhorn kicked it's butt how do you think a Oscar will hold up
You will probably have to put a divider in the tank to ease any tank mates in otherwise nothing might work.
When i had mine.
I had him with 2 texas, a jag, and an rtc.
Then i sold the texas and rtc. and was left with the jag and horn.
They were fine together... But as was stated before use a divider...or take the flowerhorn out and rearrange the decorations of the tank then add the new fish and then the flwerhorn a little after. So they re-establush territory.
So all in all any similarly aggressive cichlid should work...But keep a close eye you never know with cichlids.
