Most likey that would be Koi or goldfish. Both have many times been recorded at over 50 years. Many of the smaller tropical fishes we keep are limited to 5-10 years, although no doubt some larger catfishes have lifespans as long as koi and goldfish.

Koi, which are a pond fish and must be kept outside, have the longest life span. The official record for the longest living koi is 120 years, although there is an unofficial record of one that lived for 230 years. On the average, however, koi will usually live 30-50 years. The record for the longest living goldfish is 43 years, however, goldfish on the average will live 20-30 years. These lifespans, of course, can only occur with the best of care.

Koi can easily live for 50 years, can potentially live over a hundred years, and in one exceptional case lived over 200. This is the longest living freshwater fish. 40 years for a goldfish is exceptional, and even the large catfish don't generally see much past 25. (The mekong catfish lives for 60 years, if you have room in your aquarium for a 9 foot fish)

Pirannas they're large with small fish very friendly..you may as properly bypass in the tank and puppy them. I quite advise getting one or 2 of them and approximately 25 goldfish and watch them play peacefully

For coldwater fish, koi live really long. For tropical fish, kuhli (or coolie) loaches have been recorded to live up to 15+ years.

Koi live a long time. I have an outdoor pond and with care, good food and keeping the water quality at good levels they can live 20 plus years.

All fishes.
It's the pet owner, that decides the faith of any kind of pet fish.
