Modesto.
This is my 3.5 inch flowerhorn.
What kind of flowerhorn is it?
I did some research but no idea still.
Thai Silk mix "X"? Kamfa? Short body.
KOK potential?

Dad had an ok hump with blue worm pearls.
Mom's all red with tons of pearls.
At 2.5 inch Red Dragons.

yea, you mean breed them? lol, i dont know if thats possible haha, but i think a 55 gallon with a flowerhorn and severum would be a very peaceful looking tank, maybe 3 clown loaches too
 
The first one is a kamalau he has good kok potential. Second one is a nice red dragon. He will get a decent nuchal hump but not as big as the other one. They are both really nice IMO and will be masterpieces by the time they are full grown. I would keep them both if I were you.

I would not try to mix a severum with a flowerhorn if I were you alexx it will probably end badly for the severum. A 55 is not a big enough tank to mix a flowerhorn with anything. You might be able to get away with it in a 60gallon or a 75 but not a 55. Also if you were planning on keeping 3 clown loaches together you need to do some more research on those. http://www.loaches.com/species-index/clown-loach-chromobotia-macracanthus
 
A 55g might be too small... But you could try it out. The flowerhorn might start beating the others up. Mine is in a 55g by himself.

i like this fish a lot, i was think of putting a flowerhorn in with my green severum
:grinno: bad idea, your going to have a dead severum. Severums are peaceful, flowerhorns, not at all. Listen to cam on the loaches, since he does have a tank full of them:ROFL:

Nice flowerhorn, i would keep them.
 
I'll do an update in a couple of weeks. Feeding them on Grandsumo, Chingmix and Alife. See what they will become.
