What fish lives the longest and can be kept as a pet?

Answer 1

the longest fish i would have to say is a koi fish. a Japanese fish that are related to the common carp but are very pretty and extremely social. my uncle raises them and has had one for about twenty years now and he is still strutting along. It is also necessary to add that Koi are pond fish since they will grow to more than 24inches long. For a pet fish in a largeish aquarium, (no smaller than a 36 inch tank for 1 fish) provided you look after it correctly, an Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) lives for many years, becomes very friendly, recognises people and things outside the tank and shows heaps of personality

Answer 2

A goldfish is the longest living comman Freshwater Fish, the oldest recorded was almost 50 they have and average lifespan of around 20+ years. However the longest is a little harder to find, it is an australan lungfish, they can live about 100+ years, but the oldest recorded is only 80, so I am not sure where they got the average age from.

Answer 3

The longevity depends more on the care and environment than on the natural life span of the fish. They will die due to over or under feeding, bad temperature control, bad water filtering, or lack of oxygenation of the water.
