Mine are still going strong, although I have a completely physicotic one in my 27g at work. She attacks anyone who dares to stick their hand in the tank.No eggs in tank so I don't know what she is protecting, all this behavior started after the cleaner shrimp died.

One of my true Percs is almost 3 years old. But I guess she doesn't count in this poll...
