They say that all the ST in aquariums now are at least 10 years old. Does that mean if you bought one today and took good care of it, you could expect to live for another 5 or however many years?
ST lifespan

Probably another ten years but who knows just how long they live.Since they are slow growers I suspect they are quite long living.
I've heard 20-30 years is the lifespan. I believe a guy on here had/has an Indo for 20 years

So sad. It means there may be another 30 years or so for someone to figure out how to breed ST or they will be gone forever. Can't believe they can't be surgically bred still.
That's true about the slow growing
So the little 2" tigers we see must be 1.1.5 years old to grow to 2" from a egg
Mine seams to have stopped growing now I have had it 8 years from 2" so mine must be close to 10 years
He's been in the big tank 4 years in February so no tank restrictions
We will see

How big is it now?...I thought it was close to twenty four inches in length and that's about their limit isn't it?
+1...These fish dying of old age must be a rare happening even in the wild in past decades
I still think IT get bigger than ST
I have seen 4-5 year old IT at 19" and still growing
