So guys i was looking at my Blood parrot the other day (yes i know its a hybrid) I got her when was just a kid that knew nothing about fish. I started thinking about just how long i had her I tracked it up to ~ 15 years. I moved housed in 03 and took her with me, she was already an egg laying adult buy then. She is basically a dog at this point, anyone have an idea on how much time i have left with her?
 
I'd guess a blood parrot could live 15+ years...in other words she is probably toward the end of her lifespan. I'm basing my guess on the lifespan of midas and other potentially related fish. Now some types of cold water fish can live much much longer.
 
It's usually between 10-15 years that I hear of cichlids reaching the end of their lives.
