Don't keep Flowerhorns in the same tank as a sting ray. I put a stingray in my 30 gallon and the flowerhorn was eying it but it did nothing. The next day the sting ray was torn up and eventually died later that day.
a 30 gal will hold 5-10 newborns for a few weeks if needed .. he didnt say anything about the size .. i assume that FH was not that big as well since it was in the 30 to start..
