Wat is the best size tank for FH

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
For an adult FH? I would recommend a minimum of at least 75g. Fh's can get up to 16" in length. You need to have a tank that is spacious enough for him to swim freely.

Not many FHs go over 10" in length, 13-14" is considered a very nice size and 16" is usually un heard of, or very rare. This is because they are hybrids, and most of them consist of parrots or smaller size cichlid genes in them.

For 1 FH, I'd recommend min being a 45gallon. Perfect size would be a 65,75, and 90 gallons.

You can put them in with other fish as long as they were put in together since young and they will do well together if they were from the same batch of frys upto 7-8" in length as long as they have enough tank space and fed often to lessen the aggression.

Hope this helps,

The ideal tank size - 24" x 24" x 24"
Volume - 55-58 Gallons

This nice squarish tank is ideal for an Adult Flowerhorn
 
ive always had 2 in a 60 ive never had a problem. but bigger the better. more chance of them not tearing each other up.

Really? Man... All i've ever heard is 13-14" is average and possible for bigger...

Wonder if I should just get a 75g for mine and utilize my 150g for others?..

Thank you for correct info JP!
 
Your PM box is full and I can't send a reply to your PM.

But yea, that's fine bro. Just provide me with the shipping address to ship the FHs to.

Thanks,
JP
