What will a flowerhorn breed with....

[Toby_H]

I have four 5" female Wild Caught Trimacs and a pair of breeding Cons in a 90 gallon (Grow out tank only)... Just this afternoon the dominant Trimac chased the other 3 into caves... then raided the Cons next and feasted on eggs...

It wasn't an easy task but she ate the whole brood and I only see one nip in her fins... The male Con took a couple good hits...

This took about 30~40 minutes and as soon as the last eggs was eaten al the fish went right back to normal... Cons and Trimacs begging for food side by side...

If my neighbor ate my child I think I would have to hold a grudge for at least a couple days...

But anyway… or OP was saying he was going to add the FH and Con to a 170 Gal… even if it was a pair of Cons I’m pretty sure the FM would find enough room to stay out of their way…

I currently have 2 flowerhorns that I beleive both to be males. Not too sure how to sex them though. I mostly want to know if flowerhorns will cross breed with a convict. I have also heard that many flowerhorns do not have the ability to breed at all. Why is this? At what size can FH breed?

I think thast all the q's I have for now.

Thanks

Yes they do cross breed as i have crossed them recently, they are still young fry but they have separted from the mother convict. so excited to see how they will turn out.
