Lucy is beautiful... great fishkeeping..LowCel;3081787; said:This is my girl Lucy, I have had her for a little over seven years now. She was only about an inch long when I got her so she is probably about 7 1/2 years old.

i wonder how long their life span actually is... i have a spotted and striped raphael.... and they are fat and full grown... they are awesome...12 Volt Man;3081055; said:I didn't tell the LFS how old the fish was
I was selling all the fish out of this tank in one batch when I moved: the rapheal lived in the tube
My 1 1/2 year old scissortail rasbora. The other 2 died in the 10 gallon and the 7 I bought as tankmates in the 55 periodically randomly died off. I only have 2 now.
My oldest are my silver dollars. Got the six of them 4.5 years ago just smaller than a quarter. They are now happy and full grown.
I also had an ornate bichir for 3.5 years which I got from a friend who said she had bought it 5 years before I got it. That would have made her at least 8.5 yo.

He is almost 10 years and almost 11". I got him at a fish auction for $5.00 at only about 2". He has been in 5 tanks in 3 locations over the years.

I have to try and get better photos of him. It is rare that he comes out to swim, I took those with the cell phone.
