A friend has requested me to accept this fishy gift. I have been seeing and admiring these fish, but never really keen on keeping one, until I saw this one. Now, my problem is that I don't have a spare tank to keep even a single fish. I might need to make a new one, if I decide to accept the same. There is no enough space either for a big enough tank.
So cast your opinion and help me decide about that gift - A Flower Horn.  |

Shankar,
First thing I would suggest you to do is remove your signature |

DIY a new aquarium. It is of course no money waste for a hobbyist.
Or if possible transfer some fish from one tank to other. (If compatible) and get a spare tank. Or put some livebearers in an outside container (you could find many plastic containers from the persons who sell discarded goods, just wash it with hot water.) and use the spare tank.
But first of all check if the FH is worth the effort. |

Hi Shankar,
Option 4 - Give it to me.
I will offer you a free pick up of the fishes from your house.

Shankar,
As the old saying goes ...
If there is a Will, there is a Way.
Follow the heart, other things would follow and would fall in place.

@ Shankar,
You can make a new post asking for someone to pickup your current stock until you get your next tank. I think you will get into new one sooner  |

@shekar
Yes. Will take it and keep it in a barrel for sometime. Liked your avatar.
@Gokul
I don't eat fish. : )
Rohan and Pradeep, actually not totally out of fish keeping. One of my old pair of cichlids (given away earlier) had to be put back in my tank, a couple of weeks back. And now they have spawned and I am forced back into the neonatal care.
@Saurabh, am very much used to keeping fish in plastic containers of all sorts. And the FH looks good!
@Aquaboy, NO WAY! 
Thanks Ravi and Ram.
@Kaushik, I'll better be a saint.  |
