I have a 120 gal. tank and i have 4 tiger oscars in in right now. they are only 2.5 to 3 inches at the most. since i have gotten my fhs i have fallin in love with them i like them better than my oscars... my fh is only in a 30 gal. right now. i know he needs a bigger home.. what should i do??? put a couple of my oscars in the 30 gal and put my fh in the 120? i dont know what to do... i would love to get another 120 or bigger tank but the wife would flip..haha what should i do????:confused:
 
YOu need to get rid of that 30 and get a 75. I had a flowerhorn in a 55 and in ways thats still to small. At the same time Oscars arent little fish, they need room too! Get to begging and get a 75!
 
you may have to give up a couple of oscars.. and then put the fh in with the other two oscars that you keep into the 120gal.. how big is the FH now...
 
Liz I have to disagree with you, don't put the FH with the oscars. It is more than likely it will kill them. Do like Musha said and get a 75 for the FH. I just put one in a 75 and it is now my favorite tank and I have 11 tanks going.
 
oh and we need pics of the FH
I just noticed you are the one asking questions about the pair of FH too. What did you do with the other one?

I had to take the female back to my lps.. i didnt want to chance one of them getting killed by the other.. my male fh isnt but maybe 2.5 inches right now.. i hope he turns out nice he has like a yellow tint to his face and a red belly looks pretty cool!!! not sure what kind he is if you could help that would be great but he looks cool to me!!

this is a bad pic of him but the best one i have so far!
