A couple of months ago, I set up my first tank in several years. After quite a bit of thinking/research, I opted to get a few SA cichlids; more specifically: a Red Devil (approx. 4.5"), a Green Terror (approx 2.5"), and a pair of Convicts. (A small Pleco as well.) With Christmas approaching, it appears that there is a good chance that my girlfriend will get me another tank. (Without getting into several long and unnecessary stories, I would speculate the size to be in the 75-100 gallon range.)
At any rate, I recently came accross the Flowerhorn. The only ones I had seen were $300+, so I never really expected to get one (although I was intrigued by all the stories that I had read about them). Much to my surprise, a LFS had two for sale! One was apparantly bred by a local & sold to the store--its coloration was being called "Supernova." It is roughly the size of my Red Devil listed above (and very beautiful). The second was what I see refered to as the "King Kong Jong"--similar looking to a mature Red Devil--and about 10" in length.
To the point: would it be possible for the "Supernova" to be in this new tank with the others? Would it eventually become too territorial? Finally, what, if any, cichlids make good tank-mates for Flowerhorns? Wait, I lied... last question for real: what are appropriate tank decorations for Flowerhorns? (Stacks of rocks & some driftwood?) Thanks in advance!
