Hi there, Karen, welcome to the forum

Guppies aren't a long lived fish; around three years would be a rough average lifespan.

In my experience it all depends on their surroundings. Tank size, male to female ratio, tank mates, water perimeters, how often you do water changes, etc. If they are happy and healthy, mine have lived up to 5 years!

I keep endlers, basically of the same family as guppy, poecilia.

Have managed to successfully keep them for over 3 years and I got some of them as adults in the first place.

As Applesnailsgirl touched upon, conditions and habitat do indeed count for a lot for longevity and for fish to thrive
