fish life span....

so in my experience, here are some maximum lifespans of pet fish:
rams, apistogramma ... 3-4 yrs :
Mbuna, Aulonocara... 5-9 years :
Lamprologus, Julidochromis ... 6-10 years :
Frontosa, Cichla, Crenicichla, Dovii, other Giant cichlids ... 11 - 25 years + :
Nothos, Cynolebias... 1 - 2 years:
Fundulopanchax, Aphyosemion ... 3 - 6 years :
small Tetras, neons, brass, Emperor, etc... 3 -9 years :
Large Tetras, Congo, Silver Dollar, Distichodus ... 6 - 13 years :
Mollys, platys, Swordtails... 2 -4 years :
guppys, endlers ... 1 - 2 years :
Corydoras Cats ... 7 - 15 years : ... almost all cats live a LONG time, except Oto Cats...
Synodontis Cats ... 8 - 40 years :
tiger barbs, rosy barbs, odessa barbs ... 5-9 years :
in general ...
fish that attain very large size in nature,
are likely to have a very long life span in captivity
