What would be a good tank mate for a FlowerHorn?

I'm thinking a small catfish?

My flowerhorn killed a 12" pleco in 2 days. FYI.

A little older n more aggressive they start killing each other at this point when they get hungry n fighting for space.

i havent really heard of any good tankmates for flowerhorns. few and far between for success rate to risk the health of another fish. i always see them solitary due to their size and aggression. even a pair need a huge aquarium to keep them from killing eachother, and even then its not a guarantee.

I've seen them kept alone most of time. I'm thinking if anything can be kept with him, it has to be an SA. People have success keeping FH with blood parrots, but most of the time BP got harassed and eventually killed.

This is his home now
