I bought a nice looking Flowerhorn today on impulse, i shouldnt of really, i was thinking grow him up a few inches then sell him for a good price because they extremley rare in my part of England.

Hes in with my big Severums and Barbs, hes only 2.5", could i keep him in there for a month or 2 do you think?

Also what type do you think he is? i think hes a Red Dragon ZZ, but a really nice sparkly one.

Kamalau or KML for short, looks male. I would think a month or two would be fine but its a crap shoot. I could see him going after the barbs though but he might not mess with the Sev. Also wrong section.
 
Where abouts in England are you from?
 
Ive had success raising babies with other cichlid like severums and acaras until the 4" mark but never with tetras barbs or prey looking fish.

The Barbs are nearly as big as him at the mo lol :P

Meh maybe i shouldnt of bought him, thats the problem with only having room for 1 tank!

I could try and seperate my tank but its bow front so makes it difficult.
 
severums will probably get torn up. barbs are quick and can run but will eventually stress out too much from getting chased by fh. it really depends on the personality of your fh, good luck.
