Dracula goby lifespan?

[SlugSnorter]

I asked before but never gotten a clear answer on them, anyone have experience?

There's not much information available on fish life expectancies. I'd guess 5 years would be a good average though.

Gobies usually fall in the range of 3 to 5 years. But then there are people who have had them for twice that.

I have a smallish tank so I like buying fish that are just slightly less common. For example I got a Helfrechi vs. a purple firefish. I also just got a flame prawn goby which was very pricey but very hard to find.

So get the one your heart says yes to because your tank can only hold so many fish!!

I have a very similar experience, just slightly bigger - A Red Sea Max Nano (20g total).
Unfortunately, my LFS has been going downhill and the rare fish are all fish for 6’ tanks and bigger - I hate it, a lot of them are also in VERY bad health conditions. They probably get like 6-7 nano fish and then like 70+ Big fish for 4’ tanks+. It’s not even the widest selection unfortunately - It’s like 4 blennies and then a few gobies.

I find most saltwater fish live for at least 5 years

Yeah that seems to be what happens at a lot of LFS. I'm lucky I have a LFS that brings in many smaller fish and some pretty rare ones like a Candy Basslet! Too much $$$ for me.
