Subject: [AquaticLife] Does anyone know how long these types of catfish can
live?

Hello, I've got 3 catfish who I would consider to be pretty old, but am
wondering if anyone here knows how long they can actually live.

1. Synodontis angelica - have had since December 1997.

2. Sailfin pleco - have had since about November 1996, was pretty big
when I got him so could have been a few years old at that time.

3. Striped talking (raphael) catfish - have had since February 1988 so
is at least 24 years old, could even be more. The strange thing is when
I first got this fish I didn't expect it to live long because we had an
old tropical fish book at the time which said the fish needed live food
at least 3 times a week to survive. As we didn't have a regular supply
of live food at the time I didn't expect the fish to live, but he's
still going strong and has survived all the usual beginner mistakes and
a couple of heater failures.

It seems to be quite difficult to find information on life span for fish
and I'd just be interested to know if anyone has information on how long
these fish can actually live.
