Can flower horn and Oscar fish be put together in one aquarium?
Even if both fish are small, I would not recommend this!





They will not stay small for long, and more importantly, even though Oscars can be aggressive, they would not stand a chance against a Flower Horn which is a Hybrid fish that gets many of its traits from the Red Devil. I have rarely seen a Red Devil not eventually kill an Oscar.

Reply:personally, i wouldn't. for the fishes sake. they're both highly aggressive and territorial fish, and unless it's enormous tank (actually enormous over 200 gallons enormous) they're going to be constantly feuding over territory.
Reply:The flower horn will kill the oscar by the time they're 6 or 7 inches big I bet.





They may appear to co-exist for a while, but one day you'll come home %26amp; one's face will be practically ripped off by the other.





That's not a good mix at all.





You will have a good chance of mixing the oscar with a non-cichlid like a catfish.





You'll have a bad chance of mixing the flower horn with pretty much anything for a long term situation.
Reply:Oscars are very aggressive and should only be put with other oscars of the same size. They are also very agressive to plant life and will likely destroy any plants. However, anubias plants are very hardy and might withstand an oscar.
