Jaguar Cichlid Age

[Lahan]

I am thinking of buying the Jag in my lfs which is around 15 inches. Anyone has an idea on how old he might be from his size and how long would he live?

A managuense could easily hit 15" in 3 to 5 years.
A male I had hit 15" in 3 years, so if that age, it could have another 7-9 years to go.
I believe they can easily live 10 to 12 years.
That said, it could already be 8-9 or more years old now.
