Yes. you can keep two fishes in one tank as long as they are separated by a glass divider and the tank is 50 gallons plus in size.

Some of them are not that aggressive and do tolerate other fishes including other flowerhorns. As flowerhorn community tanks are kept by flowerhorn hobbist's along with other types like Parrot, Kingkong Parrots, Oscars as well.

A best way to achieve this is by getting flowerhorn fry(a lot of them) and keep them in a spacious tank with caves and places to hide in. Eventually the once that are most aggressive or dominating could be separated and we could have a bunch of flowerhorn that are tolerant to each other.

Another trick is to get keep a middle sized parrot (i would prefer to keep full size parrot just my opinion) when the flowerhorn fry are brought..Parrots play nannies to them and teach them some manners.

And the safest way to do so would be to put a glass/plexiglass divider.

Keeping more then one Flowerhorn together depends on the comfort level these guyz would develop around each other(even if divided coz if you want them to reach their true potential will have to provide them with what makes them comfortable).

What fish can you put with a flowerhorn fish?

These things are not a naturally evolved fish so they have no "proper taxonomic name" and as such they should not exist. They were developed/bred in a Chinese laboratory from the ova (egg) of one species of South American cichlid being artificially impregnated by the sperm of a different South American species. If you must house one then treat it as you would treat any other large South American Cichlid. You can only mix them with other large South American species. Some of them are not that aggressive and do tolerate other fishes including other flowerhorns. As flowerhorn community tanks are kept by flowerhorn hobbist's along with other types like Parrot, Kingkong Parrots, Oscars as well. See Related Question below -

Can you keep 2 axolotls in 1 tank?

Depends how big your tank is, but yes you usually can. I had two axolotls in one tank, and they were fine together, although one bit the leg off the other once. The leg grew back but we never had any other troubles other than that. Also, if you dont know what sex they are, expect to wake up one morning with a load of eggs in the tank! They are hard to raise as they need to be removed from the tank to stop the axolotls from eating the eggs, and they are very sensitive.. we only managed to raise them once out of 3 lots of eggs.

Should you keep green terror fish with flowerhorn fish or can you put them with discus fish?

No, green terrors are of the acara group who are generally less aggressive than Flowerhorns, which are extremley aggressive piscivorous predators (as opposed to acaras who browse for aquatic inverts etc.). And simply no mixing either of those with discus fish, In my opinion. Flowerhorns especially will easily kill a discus, all of whom are non aggressive


Can you keep two male betta fish in the same tank?

I have heard of people that have had two bettas in the same tank for years and they haven't faught. But make sure that the tank is over 20 gallons so they can have more room to get away from each other. But I recommend NOT to have two bettas in one tank.


Can a flowerhorn cichlid be housed with discus?

Housing flowerhorn cichlids with discus is generally not recommended due to differences in temperament and care requirements. Flowerhorns are aggressive and territorial, which can stress out the more peaceful and sensitive discus. Additionally, flowerhorns prefer a higher pH and temperature range, while discus thrive in softer, more acidic water. For the health and well-being of both species, it's best to keep them in separate tanks.


Should you only keep one pregnant guppy in a birthing tank or can you have more because I have three pregnant guppies so should I put two of them in the community tank and one in the birthing tank?

I had a problem like this, a couple of fish pregnant at the same time. I would either keep them all the female guppies in the birthing tank or keep them in the community tank and when one of the female guppies give birth put the baby in the birthing tank. I did the second option and it was quite good, just don't overcrowd the birthing tank. :)


Can you put 2 male bettas in a 111234 gallon tank?

If two male Betta (Siamese fighting fish) meet, no matter the volume of the tank, they will fight. Some breeders will put opaque sheet partitions in the tank to keep the male fish out of sight from each other. Females will happily keep together in the same tank.
