good question, no idea actually.

I'd say at least 6-8 years, maybe more, but it's a guess

I suspect they don't last as long as Mochokids.

they grow faster, spawn earlier wich usually is a clue of a "faster life"

Sid's answer is very intuiative, & i'd not venture away from this

My oldest was a specimen bought as an adult & i had it for 3 &a half years - how long to get to adulthood & how long had it been one, i can't say.

Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!
