How Long Has Your German Ram Lived?

[bcpatti3]

Just curious how long other hobbyist German Blue Rams have lived? Mine are coming up on 4 years. Webiste lifespan says 3 years. They are surely my favorite fish in the tank and I will truely miss them when they are gone. I know I am little jaded because I love all African Cichlids. They have made it through 2 moves, moved from a 30 gallon to a 55 gallon and outlived every in between. Nowadays they tend to live off algae discs and sinking algae pellets. How long have your Rams lived?
