Request for info on Liopropoma longevity

[sirrus6]

All

Can you respond if you have kept a member of the Liopropoma genus for longer than 5 years? If so, can you list the species and the length of time that you have kept it? Just curious, as I haven't found any literature on this topic.

Thanks

Ken

Liopropoma carmabi - six years

That's impressive! At what temp do you maintain the tank? I'd love to have a carmabi, but am concerned that it will need to be kept at a temp lower than the 76.5-77.5 I maintain.

Funny; my Carmabi also lasted six years. Was told they average around two years in the wild though I can't imagine how anyone would know that. My temps, by the way, averaged between 77.9-79.0 F.
