Hi Sir,
I have got a male flower which is 4inch and to buy a female for him kindly suggest what shd be the size of female I should get and is it safe to have a male and female pair together as I have heard you can keep both together since they are young and they will pair and will not fight in future

Hello Raj,
Yes your right, two flowerhorn can’t stay together until both accept each other. If you wish to keep male and female flowerhorn together in one tank than you need to keep below pointer in mind –
- Male and Female must be same in size. If your flowerhorn is 4 inch size than female must be 4 inch. If size is different from each other than who is bigger can kill smaller. So make sure you have same size flowerhorn. Probably with same breed too.
- Keep both flowerhorn in same tank with partition between two. Initial week keep non-transplant partition and later on keep transparent partition so both can see each other.
- In three weeks you can take one trial by removing the partition. If both are fine than you can keep together.
- If they fight than again add partition between and retry in two week.
- for all this you need at-least 4 feet or above tank size.
- Dont add any decorative items, keep black background
I guess this will resolve your doubt.
Thank you,
