life spans?

[nicole]

Just out of curiosity (and to see what kind of fish keeper I turn out to be) whats the life spans of the more common breeds of fish like clowns, tangs, wrasses, damsels, etc?

According to my ---- Mills reference book it lists the following spans;
Anemonefish and Damsels 1 to 3 years
Angels and Butterflys 3 to 6 years
Snappers, Triggers,Puffers 5 to 8 years
Batfish,Groupers, Lionfish 10 plus years
It states this is the averages for home tanks for public tanks they list the years as
Angels 9 to 17 years
Butterflies 9 to 18 years
Tangs 10 to 17 years
Damsels and Anemonefish 10 to 18 plus years
Triggers 11 to 17 years
Puffs and Porks 11 to 15 years

all of these years are based on the fish being in a home aquarium
