liz, 10-14 years is their lifespan and it seems 5-7 is a better number for the aquaria. This really depends on fish to fish, as many of our fish have been inbred, hybridized, and so many other factors that cause early death.
I lost big Red today-- i will never know why..?

oh those little beasts are awesome why would he go so oddly..ive been reading a lot of the same thing there fish is fine then dies hmm i wonder whats going on..but it is sad to lose something like that R.I.P.
Not always an easily explained reason for death. He was a great looking Red though. Sorry for your loss.
thanks everyone.. the LFS store that i went to today told me it was most probable that he passed due to heart failure.. that his age was in the normal life span of course on the lower end of the average scale... the other bigger red i have is even older ...so now i wonder about him.. My jaguar has his days numbered due to old age.. he is very old and starting to lie down alot ... that was what was so weird about big red.. he gave me no clue.. while the Jaguar i can see it coming with obvious signs, although he still eats.. he just tires easily.
