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).

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.


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. :)

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.
