What's the longest your pet fish have been alive or how old is your oldest fish?

Question

I have had five for 6 months and four for nine months. How much longer do you think they will live?

Two of them are called shark fish, there are there guppies and four tetras.

Answer 1

Not knowing what kind of fish they are makes it impossible to tell you how long they will live.

Guppies and most small livebearers live about 2 years.
The larger tetras barbs and goutamis about 4-5.
Some cichlids can live up to 15-16 years.
Some goldfish more than 20 years.
Koi can live up to 100 years or longer.

I have a large African cichlid called a red zebra that is over 5 years and going strong.

Answer 2

1 year

Answer 3

I had a Plecostomus that I raise from about 1/2 inch long to about 17 inches. The fish lived in a 200 gal community tank and died at about ten years old.

Answer 4

Ironically my Goldfish of 3 years died last night. That's the longest I've had a goldfish live so far. I had an aquatic frog that lived for 12 years but was unfortunately consumed by the cat.

Answer 5

Clown Loaches, 11 and 10 yrs now, and Yo Yo Loaches 6 yrs, Striped Loach 5 yrs so far - knock on wood.
