My Red Dragon Flowerhorn in my avatar finally passed. Had him in a 90 gallon by himself. Had thoughts of breeding him at one point but decided against it. Bought the fish off aquabid for about $75 and turned into an amazing specimen. The fish arrived about 6-7" which was 2-3" more then advertised. I was willing to bet I received the fish at around 1 year old. I think I may step away from flowerhorn for a little but I can't wait to see the next one I get.

Here’s a picture of him in his prime unfortunately didn’t have any pictures on my new phone as his decline in the last 6 months wasn’t the greatest.

Sorry to hear that, you did your best and clearly gave him a good life for the time he was here.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. But keep the memories of your FH alive.

Sure was he was probably over 4 years old and from my understanding is close to the maximum life span.
