Stocking Issues need some help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So, I would be able to keep them for about 3-4 inches before I would need to get rid of them? Besides the obvious if the fish are getting dominating.

maybe, but probably not. My stock on the whole was a little less aggressive than your stock. I think you're gonna have problems sooner than later with a Butti in the mix.........just my 2c
 
I heard butti will start getting nasty at 6 inches? I do know that every fish is different. I am willing to take some chances but I will not tolerate any fish getting badly hurt. The Butti is the smallest of the group followed by the Flowerhorn. So, I hope with plenty of hiding spaces I can avoid this disaster in the short term.

It would be interesting to see how the Purple Rose Queen will hold up against this list. So far, he/she has had it out with the RD/Midas. I guess we will wait and see.

Great feed back so far guys keep it coming!!!!!!!
 
if you reduce the stock to only 2 fish,then 1 will end up beating down the other.butti is a large growing fish,at 2 inches it really won't show much confidence in that 75 yet.if you really want him,take the others back,get tougher target/dither fish,SD,tiger barbs,giant danios.he can grow with them,but they will probably not last when he hits 6+
