Can these flowerhorn breed together and are they male female.
Female zz and male shortbody Texas. You could try it but I wouldn't count on that male being fertile.
people think short mody or parrot body fish cant hold there own? witch is completely un true.
you male might be infertile other then that issue yes
ok so wht do u think can i breed them
give it a shot, separate them if they get too rough with each other.
they are already separate in the same tank by glass divider only on the first day they were trying to fight through the glass but now they look ok.
i got the male 2 day ago and the female is in the tank for about a month when should take out the divideder
try it once a week, take out the divider for a few minutes and observe them, if they're showing breeding behavior, then you can leave the divider out, if they act rough, then try again next week.
