age of corys

Post by Conny Boon »

I've got two corys ambiacus and just wondered how long they live. Ive got mine over 5 years now and they where fully grown when I bought them. They are starting to get a little pale I wondered if thats to do with age? they are definatly my favorit fish and the only ones that got names, Laurel and Hardy.

Hi Conny Boon,

I've just started keeping them ... but from what I've read .... I came across somewhere that an aquarist had his/ hers for 37 yrs!
