You must also realize that as they mature they usually get really agressive as well. If you want tanks mates try to add the ASAP so your little bugger can get used to others :)

He's in 23 gallon tank and he is with a small pleco.My fh doesn't even look at pleco and that's the good thing! :)

I tried adding an albino short body flowerhorn but he didn't resist him even for an hour!he's very aggressive.I don't think I can add any tankmates with him :(
