Flowerhorns usually are agressive once they are established in the tank. Did you add him after the convicts? If so the convicts might hold him down until the horn getts bigger then the convicts. Also if the convicts start breeding they will get REALLY aggressive. But to answer you question, flowerhorns are usually agressive no matter what size they are, I would definately keep a close eye. Flowerhorns are known to kill any fish that is smaller then them. I would be prepared to split these guys up when the time comes.

I had a feeling this time would be coming soon. This is why I have never owned one. Hope someone wants him.|
