	A good roomate
Nick Taylor 421 Fingerling Posts: 40 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jun-2004	What would be a good roomate for a full grown flower horn in a 125 gallon? I would like to get something else but would the flower horn kill it?

Even such fish as jack dempseys and oscars probably wouldn't stand a chance against the awesome power of a big 'ol flowerhorn. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Flowerhorns have a wide variety of temperments, being a hybrid species and all, therefore, it's hard to tell outright what would happen of you were to introduce a new fish into the tank. I wouldn't risk it, though.
