get a divider, let them get used to each other first, if not, theyl kill each other. the flower pot is for the female to lay eggs. ive heard chingmax is good food for flowerhorns, grand sumo, market rep prawns are good too. i only have a female right now, and i feed her hikari bio gold +, since she really dont need any expensive flowerhorn feeds. u do have a heater right? if not, you really need one, since they are tropical fish and needs warm water. so far, i think your good to go, hence that you have the regular stuff like filters, lights, etc.

The only thing i dont have is a divider.the male is about 5 in and the female is 2 in. They are not showing any aggressin to each other.I guess they breed 2 times before i got them.
im not sure.he said they bred 2 time and that the batchs were small because the female was.idk that what he said
he was prob saying that the female is too small. im no expert, but dont you think 2 inches is too small? you should let em grow a bit more, then think about breeding.
well i ask headlessblade and he said thats a fine size at least i hope it is. other then that there doing great there staying very close to each other so i hope i have eggs in 1 to 3 weeks.
maybe you just understimated the lenght of your fish. i've not yet seen a 2 incher lay eggs but i give you the benefit of the doubt. good luck!
