Has anyone ever successfully kept an oscar with flowerhorn?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You can always try, but in all likelyhood it wouldn't work out. Just a have a backup plan and keep a close eye on them if you do decide to try it. Personally I wouldn't risk it in 100 gal.
 
I wouldn't try it.I lost 2 10" Oscar to a 5" female fh in a 135 gal., overnight.
 
thanks for the responses guys. seem like most people think this mix of oscar and FH won't work. i probably won't do it then. if anybody has any pics of FH and oscar living peacefully together post please. i think these are 2 really cool fish. thanks!

i had an 8 inch oscar that killed everything i put with it including a 8 inch jag and a red devil.he meet his match with a 12 inch pearsei who nearly killed him twice,it all depends on the fish,not all oscars are passive
 
I did in a 125 for awhile until I sold the FH without trouble.
