Hi asking for peoples experience in keeping more than one FH together with other fish. My 210 is up and running with a large sump 6 times changer over rate with two canisters separate for pure carbon and a back up in case. Temps at 26 c / 78 f. There are two tiger oscars 7 + 8 " and now a Thai silk flower horn. An Asian aro is on route in 3 weeks. The question is can you keep more than 1 silk, is it better to have 4 than two ( stop a Mexican stand of). I understand there's alot of paticular fish personality to consider. Thanks in advance
 
I've never had luck with mixing flowerhorns with anything, unless its a female flowerhorn. Those can be put in a community, other than that, they always seem to be the bully of tanks.
 
Thanks I'm guessing this has been covered before. I'm searching and reading conflicting set ups. Flower horns with aros seem to be ok. Hand full of silks?
 
i have a 125 gal with 4 flowerons in it 3 males 1 female.
 
3 males , sounds promising how big are they all? Much fights
 
the alpha is about 7-8 inches with his lady 6.5 inches other males are 4-5 inches.
i also have apleco 2 texas a acei(african) and 2 convit x jag hybrids.
 
i have 4 flowerhorns in my 180...including a breeding pair, really no drama until they breed, then everybody just stays on the opposite side of the tank:)
 
wont work if you start with a juvie silk, too easily stressed. But I have seen pics of user notnew2dis tanks in a recent thread, he has a silk in his with tons of other ca/sa and other flowerhorns
