no bro., here in the philippines flowerhorn are very popular., some of my friends have lots of flowerhorn., i mean very LOTS!! and the oldest of them is arround 7 y/o and i myself have a flowerhorn 4 y/o but died recently due to nationwide electrical blockout..
my buddy is a flowerhorn guru. currently housing a 13yr old flowerhorn. don't kno how long they live, but his is still alive, big, fat, so old its almost plain looking now.
i woulda thought that theyy'd have a long lifespan, like 15 years...both red devils, trimacs and midas all have long lifespans yea?
probably longer then we can look back n imagine, old asian people see these fish as good luck and admire the color of flowerhorns. i can see them as far back as possibly the 60s atleast possibly longer. and i cant see why a flowerhorn wouldn't live 20+ years as long as its takin care of properly. i wouldn't be surprised if it lived 30+
On flowerhornusa.com, I've read they live average around 4 years due to the inevitable, getting pumped up on color enhancing, plus being hybrid and all. Correct me if im wrong.
I've been tempted to say as long as the fad lasts, but I know that's not the answer that's wanted.
