Sizes And Lifespans

This may seem a numb question and i no doubt it has been documented on this board many times but what is the average lifespan of Mbuna and how long does it take a juvenile to reach adulthood.?

Like i said,i may appear numb.

 

[Ginge]

It all depends on
1-What fish
2-How well you look after it.

 

[Mbuna Dave]

How about Ps Elongatus,Ps Demasoni,Labidochromis Caeruleus,Met Lombardoi to name but a few?

Speaking generally and not taking into account the quality of the water, food, and genes of the fish, it takes several months for a juvenile to reach maturity and they'll live for about 5 years.
