SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted February 3, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hi, There are so many beautiful fishes in the reefs and its good to understand their longevity in the marine tank so that wiser choice(s) can be made in the future. Let me have a go first; 1) Blue Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus) kept for 1 year (still living) 2) Orange Shoulder (Acanthurus Olivaceus) kept for 1 year (still living) 3) True Perculas (Amphiprion Percula) kept for 8 months (still living) 4) Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus Leucosternon) kept for 4 months (still living) 5) Blue Face Angel (Euxiphipops Xanthometapon) kept for 3 months (still living) 6) Clown Trigger (Balistoides Conspicillum) kept for 5 months (still living) 7) Tomato & Fire Clown kept for 10 months (still living) Particularly interested in the longevity and lifespan of the Blue Face and the Powder Blue.
