there is really no difference between how long cold water and warm water fish live. It all depends on the size of the fish. If you have a 1-3 inch fish it should live for 2-3 years. If you have a 4-7 inch fish it should live for 4-6 years. If you have a 7-10 inch fish it should live for 7-11 years and finally if you have a 10-15 inch fish it should live for 12-17 years. But dont forget that fish get sick. so if you have an 8 inch fish and it lives for only 1 year it either got sick or you didn't provide proper care for it.
