life span of freshwater fish??

DAMNATOR18 · Feb 13, 2005

I am new to the wonders of home aquariums and have set up a 55 gal
community tank with

3 Opaline Gourami
3 Rosy Barb
4 Serpae Tetra
7 Zebra Danio
4 Leopard Corydoras
2 Clown Pleco

I was wondering the life span of these fish, any info will be appreciated

Wow, thats a great list, it would be nice to sticky that!! I'm suprised neons are supposed to live that long! I would have thought it would be shorter!!

A number of fish, especially schoolers, which in the wild do not have a long life expectancy, can and will under decent care, live much longer in captivity that their relatives in the wild.

Even with that, quite a number of the fish listed can go much longer that the ages given. But I suppose that in the average tank they may not, but they can.

I was expecting somewhat shorter spans for the livebearers. Interesting.
