How old will a clownfish live?

[Roy 9121]

Just wondering, i have a oxcy clown. I've had her about 9 years.

20-30 years is possible; however 10-15 years is probably a bit more realistic.

I just googled it, and it said 5 years in captivity. I didn't think that could be right, since I've had mine at least 8 or 9 years.

I've seen a few clowns that were 20+. Ora I think has a breeding pair over 30 years

There is a pair at the LFS in Corvallis, Oregon that are about 29.

Dale's Tomato pair?

Yup, those are the ones. I haven't been there in a long time so I'm not sure how they're doing now.
