[daytonaconnecti]

has it been posted on the most common fishs life span in general, i know their are alot of different situations

I've read somewhere that clownfish can live between 15 to 25 years.

That makes me happy! I love my clown!

my 4 stripe damsel is almost 5 now

 

[trillyen]

wow 20 to 25 years thats so cool

Now a good question would be why the heck do they stop growing when they still have room to grow

Didnt know they could live that long though thats awesome

U think a well taken care of goldfishes life span is like 8 to 10 years

My clownfish pair are 19 years old in my care. The male is developing many dark spots. Like age spots now. Hope that is not a bad sign. But he is an old little guy.

 

[edwing206]

Wow, 19 years. That's awesome. Do you have any recent shots of him?

 

[MtnDewMan]

I don't have a latest picture maybe I will try this weekend after I clean the glass a bit

 

[edwing206]

Cool, I'm looking forward to seeing 19+ year old clowns.

ive heard clowns 30 years... if treated right

Here are a few pictures of my 19 year old clowns I took this evening. I personally don't know anyone with any older but I am sure there are some out there in captivity. Oh and don't mind the tank, it is a mess

My Female ...

My Male with the age spots ...

And both hovering over the clam ...

 

[edwing206]

Wow, great looking fish! My baby clown has those spots but I think it's because he hosts in a frogspawn. That clam looks great too.

I've had my clowns for just over 4 years. The female has been getting darker with age around her dorsel fin. The male is still not quite as dark.
As to size, I saw a clown that was almost the size of my palm. One word... Huge compared to mine.

yeah I want my next pair of clowns to be like 10 to 12 inches long

I wonder why some get so big and others stay so dag gone small .

Ohh and earlier I ment to type that gold fish live for like 8 or 9 years and I thought that was pretty long for something you can win at a fair
