they get 12"-16" long, so i would go absolute bare minimum 90g, best 150g

larger catfish and large plecos work, but for a flowerhorn+tankmates youre looking at 200g+ tanks

Their history and symbolism is quite unique. I've seen some go for 500 to 1,000 bucks per adult male. Rumor has it a Chinese man won the lottery by the markings of his Flowerhorn on it's lateral line.

I thought about setting up a tank myself for them. But I need to stay focused on my salt water tank I want.
