HOLY GRAIL!!

The only reason why I know everything is because Oddball let me borrow his "know everything about everything" book.
 
Everything I've read suggests an average life span of 8-10 years. Wild and earthen pond raised asian aros have been recorded at 15 years of age. A few unsubstantiated reports claim 20 years longevity for the species. I've never heard of any substantiated report of a 50+ year old specimen. I have seen scam sites that claim they have original broodstocks that would be 30 years+ as determined by their claim of when their breeding facility opened. But, these were Cameroon and Russian scam sites that likely never had any asian aros to begin with.

Dam I best get then net ready my aro is 7-8 years old now

So your saying he will self combust so

It's the same with any living thing the age can be anything within reason

Yes. Within reason. Not double or triple.

Your claim is that the tank is three foot wide and three foot tall? :bs:
 
Just as the human lifespan varies (in some countries 49 is considered old. In the US the life expectancy has been raised to 78+ years) so does the lifespan of AAs. 8-10 years is the listed AVERAGE. Some may, indeed, live twice that or more. Just as some will never reach the average lifespan. Genetics, husbandry, diet, activity, and disease all factor in to determining the individual's lifespan.
 
Beautiful fish! I would love to own one, but living in the U.S. and having worked for the USFWS in a capacity that worked with Asian invasive species, it probably wouldn't be safe to pursue that one lol.
 
ironically silver aros sell the most around here not many takers of asian aros although a wide variety of them are available...:)

People always want what they can't have.
