Mouth Locking Flowerhorn?!? What do you think?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
bravehrt2k5 on here, who is my neighbor, actually has several community flowerhorn tanks. And they are large flowerhorns.

I have kept a flowerhorn with jag, midas, red terror, and rtm with no issues.

But I also have a 6" that will kill anything and everything if given the chance.. including fingers!
 
It kinda seems to depend upon the disposition of the fish I suppose and at what point possibly it is added to the tank. Maybe if they began smaller and grew into the community. I'm still wondering about the red terrors and how they might do with a 6" JD and a 6" Nile Tilapia (an accident ha ha ha!).
 
What size is your tank? (sorry if you already said)
My boyfriend's JD will not allow any aggressive cichlids, or cichlids that get the same size or bigger then him to be his tank mate,
so I think it just may depend on the personality of yours. You may have to go for a more non-aggressive cichlid. I would say the Red Terror is just going to be the same situation as the Flowerhorn, unless the Red Terror is smaller then the JD.
