Can we breed them !

[Aquatank]

Hey guys thanks for stopping by this post I recently found that my Oscar and flowerhorn are paring up and when the female flowerhorn laid egg the Oscar started gaurding them with the flowerhorn, So is it that the F1 will be hybrid or is it even possible.
I have posted the video on my YouTube channel

I thought that oscar is fighting with flowerhorn.

genetic impossibility

Hmmm I thought so

They can spawn but you won't get fry

That tank is incredibly small.
I would part them before things get nasty and your Oscar gets killed.

Do I sense sarcasm?
Keep them together in there and find out.

Yes I have to agree 75 is way too small for these to work long term.
One thing I noticed in the video I can see the flower horn has its tube extended but not the oscar. This tells me they are not breeding the female just laid her eggs. In her mind she is trying to defend them against an intruder. When she fully matures the oscar will probably suffer.

Please do not take offense to people voicing their opinions especially when you are getting sound advice. Myself and Stanzzzz7 are trying to help. It's your fish and your tank. In the end you can do what you want but an oscar as big and bad as they are will be no match for an angry flowerhorn.
