I am wondering about the life span of the angelfish in the aquarium. I have 5 years before I have to go off to college and was wondering if I would have enough time to own an angelfish and have him live the rest of his life happily.
Report back in seven years if you reached a decade. You appear to me to be on top of your maintenance and very diligent about it. Average life span amongst all angels sold is very likely much lower, but then it is probably rare to be able to keep any tank for 10 years successfully unless the owner is experienced enough to do so.I would imagine double-digit age would be rare for one.
I've had one for close to 3yrs now and it's body is maybe the size of a pop can top. Fins are huge and long.
