those fish you have once they get to about 6 inches will kill each other lol

yeah that sounds like a royal rumble in the making! \DIng ding

Yeah those flowerhorns are no joke. The first ones out wiil be of courese the Os, and u might just end up with one really big happy FH in a few months time.

depends on the dominant fish imo. i think my midas in my tank keeps everything peaceful. the 8 inch jag and the 7 inch dovii are too scared to pick on anything. i have a feeling he can sense the violence in the tank and he breaks it up lol. he's 13 inches and very very thick.

The O's will be massacred and then MAYBE you'll wind up with a FH and a midas or two FH. More likely you lose all except one FH.

all fish are 12" plus everything is all good no fights

all fish are 12" plus everything is all good no fights

what size tank are they in right now? and thats very surprising those FH and red devil are tolerating each other at that size, i wouldnt add any new fish as it will most likely be killed, also be aware that they may not fight now but once moved to the new tank with new territories and everything there may be a massacre when they are establishing the new hierarchy...

As everyone else said, Oscars will be turned into sushi in no time. The rest will fight for dominance which might or might not end in more dead fish... depends on sexes and size differences... I know a full grown adult male Flowerhorn/Red Devil won't easily tolerate another male in the same tank... if yours do, you're lucky... keep it that way by not adding any other fish, especially not any females that would wreak havoc.
