I've this flowerhorn that has been with me for 3 months+ & it's in my 65g tank.. I added an arowana & a ck in it few weeks back & I put a divider for precaution(my FH has killed a lot of fishes in the past including an 8" peacock bass so I'm not risking any chances).. What happens when they all have grown? Surely I'll need to remove the divider & I know that this tank is not big enough so I had to remove either one of the fish.. I really don't know what to do cause I love them & having another tank is not possible due to lack of space..
Anyway, here are pics of my FH..
What do you guys think I should do?

I would let it go. As in sell or give away..

OR find the space for a tank..
 
bro. you have to choose only one. i agree to djarmstrong that you should get bigger tank... hmmm. thats hard bor since you love them...
 
get separate tanks, if the fh continues to kill off fish, just keep it by itself and use other tanks for other fish you want
 
Yes, it is really hard to make a decision.. :(
You know the feeling of having the first fish & wanting to get rid of it.. :( This FH has been with me since it was only a fry... then again the arowana is still new & cost some $$ & I want to see it grow..
Even the reason I got this 65g tank is to let the FH grow bigger.. seems that's not goin to happen........ :'(
If only the FH is not so rough on other fish.. surprisingly though, it does not attack the pleco.. they've probably become buddies..
& like I said before, it's not possible for me to get a new tank.. so I think I'll have to let it go...............................................
