reef hugger Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I have had mine for 4 years. There are public aquariums that have had them live for almost 20 years. Link to comment
warcow Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 20 years! That´s impressive! Had mine for 6 months now and counting Link to comment
ghostbear29 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Well, I went to the LFS the other day and I saw a clarkii given away by a family whose Grandpa pasted away who owned the tank. They stated that the fish was close to 11 years. It was about the size of a small bluegill and had a blind eye. The thing was totally tame and was real colorful even that old. Link to comment
RegalFlush17 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Well it all depends on the specs of the tank. Larger tanks allow fish to live closer to there true life expectancy that is why public aquariums with huge systems can have clowns live that long. However a clown will not live that long in a nano reef unfortunately. Goodluck. Link to comment
snostorm Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 My buddy has had a pair of clowns for 7 years. Sadly one jumped to its death recently. Link to comment
nanocurious Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I have heard of a couple of people keeping a pair of ocellaris clowns for eight years or so in a ten gallon, I personally kept a tomato clown for three years before. Link to comment
