Average lifespan

[Crazy mike]

Just wondering what is the average life span for jack Dempsey's and other cichlids in general. My male is like 9 years old right now

Well, I've heard Oscars regularly live 15-20 years when cared for properly and fed a feeder-less, good diet. I think ove heard of a few living longer than that too.

I figure most large cichlids live between 10 and 20.

Long lived if well cared for and not overfed.

Curiously, Jd' s have never made it very long with me.

The eleetric blues never live long, were they EBJD?

Nope, Normal ones. But they fade away, with me, amidst my monsterss. Beautifull first year, then they sort of give up...
