This is pretty cool and good info to know. We talked about the lifespan of some fish at last month's meeting.

I have a Maroon Clownfish that turned 10 a couple months ago. Looks to be in perfect health to me. Sure hope that info is wrong.

That's awesome! I wonder how accurate the chart is? Half the reason I posted it here was to see how people respond from their experiences.

I think there will be a difference between captivity and GBR lifespans but great info.

Good point James. I thought you were the one who brought up the lifespans.

Yea I would think that average lifespans in the wild would be far shorter than maximum possible lifespans for an organism due to the large number that are eaten at a young age.

I'll try and see if Diver's Den has any dugongs so we can see if I can beat 70 years. :wink:
