How long do they live? Not the supposed 4 years, I hope!
 
I've heard 5 years, but don't quote me on that.
 
Got a picture of that fish? Would love to see an old boy like that.
 
Sweet video - I see he has a sexy little girlfriend to keep him busy. Good to see such an old fish still going strong. Do they produce fry?
 
thats actually my female that i have in my 400gal now. but i had it in my friends tank with that male for over 6 months n they never produced fry. that male is very old n is very agressive towards tankmates cuz he was a solo specie for all his life. so i took her back after we realized they wouldn't produce.
 
Well - she was sure trying very hard to get his attention! Do you have a male to pair her with? Just got my first fh a few days ago (The Platinum, if you've seen my post) - Wonder how he will turn out.
 
males look way better imo, i didnt realize i had a female til she never grew a forehead, and then she started laying eggs in her tank by herself. i plan to try n mate her with a red devil jus cuz i want n orangeish fish with a metalic color in it, which is why im choosing a rd as a father.
