Flowerhorn Help Please

[nmore]

well i got a pair of thai silk flowerhorns from a cousin who bought them and now doesn't want them they are hardly an inch maybe 2 inch in size...

1) can i keep them in the same tank i see one of them following the other one around i mean harassing him but she claims that they came from the same tank at the lfs

2) i don't have a spare tank all i got is a 25 gal hospital tank so how long can i keep them in there??

3) how fast do they grow...

4) is a tetra bits diet enough or do i need something else???... if so i know blood worms anything else i can feed

Firstly, they will cope in the same tank for a short while (no-one can tell exactly how long). But flowerhorns very rarely can co-exist in the same tank once they reach any real size at all. Even breeding pairs usually have to be kept apart except for the day or so when they actually spawn.
In general they are extremely intolerant of each other.

THey grow fast if you feed them well.

THeir diet should be the same as any omnivorous cichlid.

By "tetra bits" I assume you mean tetra Prima. THat is OK, but try to vary things a little and add some veg based pellets too, and some bloodworm etc.
As a staple diet, New Life Spectrum is pretty much the best on the market IMO. With various Hikari pellets the next best (I like Hikari excel, as it has a higher veg content). Tetra pellets are OK, but tend to be rather high in fat.

Yep. Certainly looks like the same stuff as Prima. Just marketed a bit differently.
