flower horn

[I LOVE FISH]

would you be able to put a flower horn with bood parrots and severums?

[liv2padl]

in what size tank?

[I LOVE FISH]

A Big one cuz my cuzin is looking to get a tank and likes seveums blood parrots and flower horns and wonders if he can mix these 3

[liv2padl]

a "big" one means different things to different people. some here would consider a 40 gallon tank "big". i breed cichlids and consider anything under 75 on the small side. 'big' to me means 250 or more gallons.

your current stock needs a 125 minimum.

a flowerhorn would probably dismantle a blood parrot or severum even in a 125 gallon. Better tankmates for severums would be other South American cichlids like chocolate cichlds or some of the larger acaras.

so no flower horns ( the tank that he is getting is 125G)

My flower horn tore my Dovii a new @$$...and the Dovii was bigger

[Ruben Tolon]

you can probably keep one flowerhorn by itself in the tank, but definitely no blood parrots or anything else like that in there.

Flowerhorns can and are quite mean fish. I would suggest keeping it in a large aquarium by itself. I cleaned a tank at work with a flowerhorn in it and it is one mean fish. It went after my hand like a piranha would.
