sa and ca cichlids have lived up to 15 years, but from what I have read 7-9 years is tops for a fh. Average would be lower I would guess.

zz were bred for fast growth and usually show potential at 3"
While GM and kamfas grow slower and show potential at 6"

i saw a 4 yr old fh.

mine was only almost 3 years old.

just take good care of your fh and lets see how old would it last.
