One mabye based on tank volume, but thats a ton of bichirs for one, they might bother him, but most importantly, I would never risk putting a ck in with a flowerhorn, at least not again. I tried it once with a large ck and a bite-size flowerhorn- the FH beat up the CK so i had to immediateley take it out. Flowerhorn are much more agressive than any of your other fish

I have not totally decide to get f/horn as yet , but i have one that i have seen and liked at my friends place. So now i dont no what to do. I dont want to get a fish a put it with a f/horn that mite kill it. Maybe i should leave the f/horn out.

Your already going to have a silver thats going to outgrow the tank in a few years. So probably no more then 1, if that.

Not to worry when they get big i will get a bigger tank/pond for them.
 
I hope u are planning to sell the polys. A tank that size would be pretty close to full with 2 polys, 1 ck and 1 aro. You need about 12 more tanks like the one u have.
 
Spend less money and have fewer headaches: GREATLY reduce your "i wanna" list and talk to some of the knowledeable people on this site. Most of us have fallen victim to overstocking at some point earlyon in the hobby, so u r not the first (or last). U will shed fewer tears.
 
OR raise up babies a little and keep ones u like and make a profit off of the others.
 
ust something to bear in mind, i know not all are like this.
i had 2 fhs 3", male and female. put them both in my tank with a load of fish 8" plus, including a 2ft plec.
the next morning they were all dead or dying, apart from the female fh and the male...luckily she pulled through.
but it was blatently obvious who the culprit was considering he was the only survivor and not a scratch on him.
he was swiftly put in to a tank on his own.
the female mixed with every other fish i ever put in the tank

That is the reason of this thread

Will consider this at a later stage.
