Aquarium Advice Apprentice
My local lfs has been getting this beautiful species of Flower Horn from Malaysia. Right now there are three medium sized(4-5") fish that I have to choose from(the best I've seen yet). They all have wonderful coloring. I only want one as a show fish in a 55 gal. by himself.
My question is: Should I buy him now? I'd have to put him in a 55 gal. with 4 South Americans(3 Geo's and a Firemouth). Or should I just wait until I get my other 55 gal. up and running so he can have his own tank. By waiting, I risk missing out on these beautiful fish. They don't come in very often, let alone of this quality. It's hard to have patience.
I would love to hear any other input anybody can give me about Flower Horns. I know there's not many owners out there, as this is a new species. I'm really excited about raising one. Thank you.
