Please help, FH reading... comp.

I recently bought a Red Cherry Flowerhorn (I believe that's what it's
called) We had it in a tank with an Oscar both are about the same size, about 4
inches, they we're fine the first day but on day 2 the Flowerhorn started
picking on the Oscar.
<Very typical>
We ended up putting the Oscar in a separate tank to make sure he didn't get
killed. Should we keep them separated, or was something like that normal?
<The latter>
Also since we've had our Flowerhorn it's eyes have changed from the orangish/
reddish color they were when we got it to a medium/light blue for a while and
then back to the reddish/orange once again. Is this normal? What causes that
happen?
<Can change, mostly a matter of our perception though, reflection from the rear
of the eyes... Bob Fenner>
Thanks so much!!!
Flowerhorn With Stingray - 02/06/07
Hey! Guys! Keep Rocking! I have a 30 x 15 x 15 tank with a Flowerhorn in it!
The guy is around 5".I was thinking of adding a stingray to it! All I need to
know is:
1) Do they stay along together?
<The Flowerhorn is very territorial and eventually would fight and pick on the
stingray.>
2) Does the ray stay in a bare bottom tank or fine golden sand is MUST?
< Stingrays come from sandy to muddy bottoms. They like to cover themselves with
sand to hide. He would feel stressed in a bare tank.>
3) Is it as hardy as the Flowerhorn or it requires fine water conditions?
< The stingray usually do better in soft acidic water. The Flowerhorn doesn't
care about water chemistry.>
Thanks in advance. Regards
< Overall I would not recommend putting these two together.-Chuck>
<<Aside from that, this is vastly too small of an aquarium for any species of
stingray. -SCF>>
