Question for Flowerhorn owners

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
an impressive fish! Pity it is going to fall through the ceiling one of these days..keep a bucket for it on the lower floor....
 
I tried to put a fh in a community before work for a while then got back to what he is and I notice with fh's their beauty come's out when their just by themselves it's either sometimes they lost their beauty by being beaten also by other fish in a community and their kok becomes much bigger when by theselves(though kok depends on their genes too)anyway good luck hope it works for you .

i agree with aquaticwonder. fh kind are really agressive fish they are im prove their quality when they by them self color and kok... but kok big or not is by gene , i've put my fh with my 13" jar and he still bite the jar event know my rd fh only 8" ,like they get along at first but on the end still try to be dominate one..it's look kool when you have a comm tank but i recon yuu put ya fh by hime self bro .. but peep have their own opinion yuu do what is best 4 ya .by the way ya fish is really pretty man , good choice

I had a 12" FH in my 265 with oscars, a jag, an aro, CK, and a couple of catfish and he never caused a problem. He acted like the ruler until he got put in his place. After that everything was fine.
when ya had him in there did he show good color
 
ive seen a silver arowana with a FHs sizing from 1" to 5" there are a couple. the tanks is about 90G. they look like theyre gettinh along. maybe for some time, agrression will start.
