The longest I had one last is 6 months but it really did a great job with the other fish and also ate all food I put in the tank including pellets and flake. Long story short I think they are a good investment.

That may well be the most unethical statement I've encountered in almost eight years of reading the bbs and mailing lists. A healthy system will do a better job than any cleaner fish. I hope anyone reading this puts more value on the critters they bring home than that.
