Can people please post pictures of their flowerhorn tank (if they have any décor) or link similar discussions. I finally saved enough to set up a flower horn tank, but I can't find any good inspo online since most pics are of bare tanks, and I personally don't like bare tanks. Any help would be most appreciated
 
People have FH in bare tanks because they are so destructive also because IMO many FH tanks are on the smaller side it makes WC and cleaning more difficult as there is more decor to move around.
If you don't mind your FH redecorating your tank, and every WC you put it back, decorate it how you like
 
Try a few good sized, heavy rocks. I kept a female Kamfa in a community tank with an XL rock hardscape.
 
I’d suggest going with some natural colored gravel or some good sand if you don’t run HOB’s. I’m not a fan of the bare bottoms so much either. At least some substrate. If you want some decor/hardscape there’s options that can work with Flowerhorn.
 
I think mostly they keep them bare is to prevent damage to the softball on the fishes head. I could be wrong here, just my guess.
I would just go natural looking. Rocks, manzanita branches, maybe some plants and see if the fish accepts them. I had an oscar that just shredded plants for fun so I couldn't do plants with her.
