Is FH male or female they tend to be really aggressive and should be kept alone but with enough room it should be fine I have my Midas with a FH
Yeah should be fine! In my 200 gallon I have three thai silks, bonsai fh, two texas, one large 10 inch super red texas, one 9 inch flowerhorn, three Midas/RD 1 at 2', 1 at 4' and another at 7"!
Nice plenty of space
My FH when it was bought was in a lfs tank with only JD that bullied it and it was nipped and everything
Small fish only 2 inches when I bought it
As soon as I took it home and put it in a 10 gal grow out it killed my fire mouth cichlid and ate one of my zebra danios(bad decision by me)
Then it beat up my arowana in a grow out (cause my friend put them together when I was away)
So I was like hmm it's too small to go in the big cichlid tank soo I'll put it with a JD I bought to grow out. They were the same size. Immediately it was scared. It turned pale and fled and was super stressed so I got rid of the JD. Then few months passed it was fierce and mean at around 4 inches I put it in my cichlid tank. The moment it went in everything tried to beat it up (all my blood parrots who were 6-8 inches) at first they chased and ganged up on it so i was worried then it turned around and beat the crap out of everyone but now it was super hyped up and picking on everyone until it saw my 6 year old JD cichlid. The JD beat the crap out of it and now my tank is pretty much order. Lesson of the story don't mess with JD lol. Also my Midas fought with the FH but the FH is more scared of the JD. It avoids the part of the tank the JD lives. It quarrels with the parrots and tries to fight the midas( but is ignored)
Mines a bit old but when it was young everyone was afraid of it even the Midas it was MEAN but it's older now and has slowed down
Now it only fights if another fish starts it or is in the way
