My zz is more than 3 years, and I have the feeling that sometimes he is getting more and more tired, he is healthy but getting old. How long can he live?
Thanks.

They do live a lot longer than that. The average 3 is due to frequent exchange in ownership causing the short lifespan. In theory, they can live 10+ years. The oldest I seen is about 8.

Thanks for your reponse.
My zz is weak twice a year, but he is healthy. I hope to keep him for 3 to 4 more years. FH are nice and attaching fish.
I had a pair that is almost 6 years old. they still have babys every other month. and they are the welcome piece at my friends LFS
i had a trimac live for almost 9 years.. he was beautiful. and i just had a Blue diamond Discus die and he was 8 years old..... so i would say around 8 years if taken care of.... good question tho
the fh that i gave my brother is 4yrs old and still growing healthy and strong he is in a 45g
