I was just reading this on another board today. Ocellaris have only been captive bred in this hobby for 20-25 years, so so far that is the oldest recorded age.

Agent,
Purposely attempting to incide negative reactions is called Trolling. It's not an acceptable practice here. I know you are joking but not everyone will.

Bang Guy, how long do Tomato Clowns live for? The same 20-25 yrs?
Also, is it normal for the sides of the tomato clown to go a darker color as they age? I know there is a cinnamon clown but this clown is the color in my avatar but the sides are going a bit darker. Just curious

I'm not familiar with Tomato Clownfish. I would imagine they have a lifespan somewhere around 20 - 30 years but I really don't know.
I've never seen a large Tomato Clown with bright Orange sides so I would guess they tend to darken as they grow older.
