That thread is 6 years old. Older strains of Flowerhorn lived longer than the ones being pumped out today. Today you can't expect them to live much more than 3 years.
Average lifespan of a flowerhorn?

this is surprising to hear,very surprising.Frankly hard to believe,but what is a platinum/silk flowerhorn anyway?who knows what kind of genetic manipulation they're doing?
Old thread in link. Can't expect flowerhorns to live past a few years which sucks. Spending all that money on a fish that will last around 2 years.

whats sad is that i see a lot of Flowerhorns in my LFS all around the 5" - 9" mark being held inside 10 gallon tanks with dividers....
