What age do fish live until??

Certain coldwater fish (like koi) can live a very long time...100 years plus, most tropical FW fish live between 1-30 years...I have had, for instance, both angelfish and corydoras that lived in excess of 16 years.
 
I also have heard of kois living for 70+ years. In Japan, they are a symbol of longevity.
 
Some Fish Live Very Long Time

It's not an aquarium fish, but the Orange Roughy takes 30 years to reach sexual maturity and can live for 150 years.

He thought you were responding to his question, "whats the average lifespan of a tricolour shark?".

The average lifespan is probably very low, becuase of all the people who put them in improper tanks and dom't have a clue what proper maintenence is.


I'm guessing here, but you could probably expect 15-30 years if you keep yours in a proper setup.
