Yea im not a FH enthuse or anything. I actually prefer the look of this guy over what FH experts would grade as good.( More pearls, biggers kok, etc). He has those awesome trimac red eyes. And so far for day one has excellent personality traits. Yea i realize now I am gonna have to give up my 4 year old colony of loaches if I want to keep this guy. Are ZZs just particularly mean?

Flowerhorn and Trimac in general are mean, not easy to house them with other fish.

Flowerhorns, overall, are very aggressive. Not just ZZ's.
 
he is a great fish. No kiddy making it nice for you here. his shape/body excellent. great finnage, colors are nice. i would buy him if I had tons of space for fish but i wouldnt pay more that 25 for him even at that size. on the other hand I would never raise him to be that nice as i wouldnt have devoted his own tank to him. I like him alot tho he is a great OG flowerhorn...just my opinion
 
btw I see people keeping loaches with Flowerhorns all the time. they are usually gigantic lunkers tho not bite sized

I have loaches with flowerhorns in 2 different tanks. clown, yoyo, skunk and red tail. Never had a problem personally?

I hope you don't have all those loaches mixed together red tail botia will outgrow/kill the other loaches. Skunk and clowns are pretty weak compared to modesta.

Skunks are the toughest meanest son of B****es in the loach family. i love redtail botias just cant grow them to large sizes. yeah dont mix loaches... it will have bad results unless they are similar in patterning and size
