Hello R2R community!

I rescued an established tank that came with a little three-stripe Damsel terrorist. He hasn't been aggressive since coming into my care about 3 weeks ago, but as perhaps expected, has some murder in his past record. I was told that he was about 9-10 years old. Just curious how long these guys can live? Also, what are common signs of fish that die of old age? Will they just die or do they become more susceptible to other diseases, etc.?

Just looking for some insight and information on the little terrorist I have lovingly named Ebenezer Scrooge since he is a three-stripe/Humbug damsel.

(please forgive the algae in the picture- this was the first day I had tge tank in my possession and I have slowly been working on getting it in better shape!)
