I have personally owned my yellow for almost two years...In a 70 gallon display. No other larger fish.
However it is 5 yrs of age or more. Before I had this fish, Codfather owned her. Before Codfather, my good buddy Jason (Bignose) owned her. I estimate her age at around 5 years, minimum.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

So yeah, mine's got to be about 5 years old or more now. Doing fine, although he is missing some finnage from a weird disease he had quite a while ago. Never determined what the ailment was, but he had some brownish lines & spots & lost a good portion of his top fin & one lower fin is only a short stub. None of my other fish were afflicted. The brown lines appeared on his body & also seemed to be in the bones of the fins that deteriorated. He never slowed down or acted ill/lethargic thru the whole thing, kept eating well. Strange. Wounded warrior. I keep hoping the top fin will regenerate, but if it does, looks like it will take a looong time. Adds character I guess, can't mistake him for another.

Update on mine as well, regretfully not positive. Mine finally expired last month. To the best of my knowledge over 7 years old. No idea what happened, simply didn't see him come out at feeding one day, thought nothing of it, then saw him lying at the bottom, end of tank.
Added a new one last week. Doing well after some initial tussles with existing inhabitants. The pecking order seems to have sorted itself out fairly quickly without much in the way of damage or injury.

Mine is beautiful and about 6 years old
He was purchased at a LFS and returned to the owner 5 years later as a(very) large adult. I saw him and fell in love with "Spartacus" instantly. My favorite fish!

I think it's great when a thread like this comes back from the deep black hole of the forum. Useful info on life expectancy of the fishes.
