FLOWERHORNS HELP PLZZZ...

[BIG_ONE]

Flowerhorns gotten my attention long time ago...unique looks...and if im lucky $$$$$!

anyways, what's the tank size recommended for these guys? food? can they live with their own species? like let's say a male and a female?

or any good tank mates??? thanks...

my male will kill anything that goes in his tank, even my female FH!!! she is currently in my other tank but with fish all bigger than her that keep her in check if she has a go at them....although sayin that my male was only 4" (smallest in the tank) when he killed everything in the tank *including a 2ft plec...so dont b fooled)
tbh i wouldnt recommend any tank mates.
best person to ask is JP, mine will be goin in a 175 at the end of the month and that SHOULD do him...but if he gets 2 big i will obv upgrade.
food...mine doesnt like hikari cichlid pellets lol, so he has cichlid sticks as a base then every other day, prawns, shrimp, bloodworm and dried daphnia.
if u look in the FH section JP has a thread about how to care and get the best result from a FH,or pm him, he is brilliant and always a great help
GL what ever u decide to do
