    how long do discus live ?

    In a 'perefct' tank set up how long is the average life span of a good healthy discus?

    And for interest sake, in the 'super freak' catagory whats the longest you have heard a discus living and how big did it get ?

    Hmm interesting question Rupert. I regularly have fish living to 9 or 10 years.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

    Something to think about as well.....

    Any animal or creature will generally live a lot longer in captivity than in the wild.
