Hello all. i'm a newb when it comes to flowerhorns, and I just bought a 1 inch ZZ and he really captivated me. Then it hit me. "I wonder, how long this guy will live?" ive dun a little research and havent found much on how long a flowerhorn will live, or if they even have a life expectancy. Maybe this is a dumb question but I would really like to know anyway since ive not been able to find out. maybe this should be on beginners discusion but o well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 4.gif

I'm wonder too. 3-5 years is very short for FH. Is it because of inbreed?

that would be my guess bro. That and alot of people feed there fish soo much to pump them up fast, I think that cuts down on life span also.
