How long do loaches live?

[bnybny]

Does anyone know somewhere where I could find out how long different loaches live?

Thanks!

It depends on what kind of loach you're looking to find out about.

http://www.loaches.com/species-index Our very own LoachesOnline has a species index that includes a lot of information, including longevity. That info might be is some of the related materials at the bottom of most species index pages.

A healthy weather loach (dojo) can live up to ten years. I've had mine for about three years, and they're still going strong.

I have a Hillstream Loach that I purchased on 09.02.03 and six Clown Loaches that I purchased on 06.01.95.

I have a Beaufortia and a Sinogastromyzon that I have had for 13 years and they were full grown when I got them so I have no idea how old they actually are. I had some gastromyzons that lived about 10 years.
