How big is she? They're not as mean as other amphs, usually they'll just nudge other fish. Mine hangs out with with a bifa, a jd, a leucostica, and a arowana.
 
Great lookin fish looks a bit FHish but that might be just the pic
 
Nice!! I love my Lyonsi. He is always out on the prowl for food.:D He hangs mostly with the Pearsei.

No actually lyonsi do have a bit of a FH'ish look. I used to think if lyonsi had been more readily available and common...who knows, maybe the flowerhorn craze would have never gotten started. I know that lyonsi are nothing like the super red texas or super red pearled dragons or whatever...but it all had to start from a trimac hybrid that showed more red than usual and it ballooned on from there. a lyonsi essentially looks like a trimac but with more red so who knows..may have never even gotten started.l ;)
