Lifespans?

[BOD]

can anybody please tell me a site where they have lifespans of the fish?

Lifespans often vary by quite a bit, even among fairly closely related species. However, this article should give you a rough idea.

Is there a particular fish you're concerned about?

 

[BOD]

I have already looked on there, but i have a list, i just want to get a rough idea of how long they may, of may not last.

Garra pingi pingi
golden sucking loach
chinese algae eater
polka dot botia
zebra otos
golden ram
dwarf gourami
bala sharks
mollies
bettas
peacock gobies
tetras /neon/cardinal

Going by that article, their lifespans will differ. What are you asking for?

Livebearers and tetras will die at 3-5 years (well, livebearers probably earlier). Rams at about 4-5. Bettas 4, etc.

Do you plan on keeping a CAE? They get to 9" and can be very territorial and nasty fish when older.

yes i know ive been thorugh all this before with the CAE and yes am keeping him for the moment becos he is only small.
i just wanted to have a rough idea of how long they usually last, i would especially like to know what the average lifespan of a Garra Pingi Pingi is.

It have a common name I might know? Never heard of this fish before...

Pingi Logsucker - Garra pingi pingi

A google search came up with very few hits, but those that I read said they need cold water, so unless you are getting a cold water setup, I don't think it matters.

But, as for the lifespan, sorry, can't help you.

 

[BOD]

i already have one, and yes he is in a coldwater tank although they can take up to 23-25 C in the wild they live with cichlids..... just a bit of info lol....but thats about all i know lol!

*edit- thanks i never thought of using google.
