Hey y'all! I was wondering if a Flowerhorn long term could go in a 55-gallon tank with 1 Striped Raphael Catfish. I'm going to make the assumption that most people will say no, but I'm just curious.

Question about Flowerhorn Tank Size
- Thread starter SilverArowanaBoi
- Start date
If bought as a baby you can keep in there for about a year or so but you might have to upgrade to a 90 soon after, unless you go short body Flowerhorn then you can probably do a 75 gallon
I would say no , they get to about 10 inches pretty easily and pretty fast also, and the standard 55 is only 12-13 inches wide
depends if you are getting male or female, adult or juvenile. you can find a small adult male, since these fish are hybrid and genetics vary. a 8 or 9 inch adult male perhaps
75 is generally considered the minimum for them - they get big.
Even a raphael is at risk with one - they don’t play nice with anything.

i have seen a flowerhorn multiple times in a community tank. shouldn't bother a still laying armoured raph
Not worth the risk if you like that cat more than the flowerhorn.
