So I came home to a dead FH today. I got him a little over 5 years ago. I got him for $6. He was a great fish and he will be missed. My wife was crying about him dying. He was her favorite. Here is a link from the day I got him, http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?190258-My-new-little-guy He grew very fast. He was AWESOME! I knew he was close but I didn't think he would go that fast. I noticed him breathing harder on Sunday during a water change. Went down hill from there. There are plenty of pics of him all of MFK. He is the fish in my Avatar.
Sad, sad day!

Sorry for your lost fobrinkle 5 years is a very long life for a now day flowerhorn. I also have a 7 years old flowerhorn passed away in 2010(he was just a low grade red dragon, but really playfull), I know how it feels like when you lost your favorite pet....... Did you release him to the river or bury him? What I did to mine is release him back to the river live in the water and die in the water........ I hope you guys find another guy to replace him, but sometimes I think it hard to get another fish to replace your old one.
Thanks for the condolences. I hate to say it but he is in the trash. The ground is frozen here as are the rivers (not that I would ever choose that option, you could put diseases into the river system from your tank). It sucks losing him but now I have room for a new fish and am looking forward to getting a new little guy to raise.
Sorry for your loss I know how you feel I lost my six year old jardini last year
