Is their any fish compatable with flowerhorns?

Question

I have two flowerhorns and was thinking about adding another fish with it. Since it is a very agressive fish, im not sure what to put with it.

Answer 1

I was able to keep other large cichlids with adult (non-spawning) flowerhorns in a 150. Anything smaller and you will have major issues with aggression. Blackbelts, midas, synspillum, etc. would all be good choices.

Answer 2

Basically ditto to five speed, those are the fish to try, but don't expect it to always work. With large fish like those it's very much up to the attitude of the individual fish. Some simply will not allow tank mates without constant fighting, others are more mellow.

Answer 3

not really, when small maybe an oscar or something, but when they get to the large size they will kill anything else including another flowerhorn, so i hope you have another tank or divider, as they will fight when older.
