Does anyone know the life span of a 3 spotted gourami? I've had one for 7 1/2 years and she was full grown when I rescued her, so I was just curious about how long she might keep going. Thanks! Lisa
 
I don't, but, that's AWESOME!
7 1/2 yrs, too cool!!

Thanks - I find it quite amazing myself. More than 7 of those years she's been "soul mate" to a blood parrot cichlid - of all fish. They are side by side most of the time.
 
thats very cool, the fish that i have had for the longest is my red male betta 'shrimpy'

its a corny name i know, but my little niece named him that because he would always chase around the shrimp
i had him for about 6 1/2 years
 
Wow - I've never known anyone to have a betta for so long -- mostly because anybody I knew who had one had them in horrible conditions!
 
my betta has long since passed, although i do have a new 2.5g setup i just set up 1 week ago, i could post some pics to see what you guys think, its still a work in progress
 
Could you post a pic of her? Would love to see her.

My pleasure - her name is Mister G, I had no idea until recently that "he" was probably a "she" given her curved fins (of course I still could be completely wrong and she may be a he :) )

Enjoy
