Oscar with Flowerhorn

[Vixor]

I was thinking about adding an oscar to my 75 gal. It would be with my 10 inch flowerhorn and pleco. The oscar would go in first I suppose...Would you think that they would get along? If not, could someone suggest some other fishes. Thanks.

If the oscar is the same size as the flowerhorn, arent you getting a little close to the limit for that tank?

 

[Lupin]

The answer is no. Flowerhorns have a very nasty temperament and regardless will not make good tankmates with oscars in the long run.

I there any fish that can be kept with the flowerhorn?

Unless your tank is even larger with more open space and hiding places, nothing will work well. Plecos will also end up attacked ending in heavy damage.

I have a small flowerhorn and he is very nasty. I wouldn't suggest keeping anything with him, unless you want it to end bad, and not for the flowerhorn

My Flowerhorn doesn't even get along with itself.

It's constantly attacking it's reflection.
