The Fishy lifespan???

[bocfuss]

What are some of your lifespans for the fish I have, I have had them all for about 2 to 3 months. I know it all varies but when not dying from disease how long have some of your fish like these lived. Just curious cause I read a lot about peoples fish dying. I have read two different books and they don't say how long they live, probably because it is so varied, I would still like to know some of your fishes lifespans. Thanks.
Here are the fish in my tank.
2 True Percs, about 2 and 2.5 inches long.
1 Flame Angel about 3 inches long.
1 Six Line Wrasse 1.5 inches long.
1 Lawnmower Blenny a very small 3 inches long.

found this data on a Queen Angel fish life span:
http://www.fishlore.com/profile-queenangelfish.htm
Life span 15 - 20 years, possibly longer
not a bad investment
clown trigger:

WOW! Thats pretty impressive. I had no idea fish lived that long. Not one of the things I researched when selecting my fish list.

Ive never heard of many people keeping fish for more than 5-6 years for whatever reason. SOMETHIHNG always happens, ich outbreak, killer power outage, have to sell tank, or even they just die for no apparent reason.

Fyi the record for clowns (true percs) is set at just over 30 years old, and this pair is still goin strong the oldest anemone ever found in the wild, i think was 500 years old, every anemone of that species in that particular area can be traced directly to that anemone.
