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

ironically silver aros sell the most around here not many takers of asian aros although a wide variety of them are available...![]()
Why the ban? Two words: "American bureaucracy".
