How old is your oldest discus?!?!

[neo_44]

Hi everyone,

Well, my tank is now BB, and I'm patiently making the long wait till some discus become available; in the meantime, I thought I'd ask more questions....

I'm curious as to what is the lifespan of discus??? How old is your oldest discus, how large is he/she, what type, and what setup is he living in? The more detail the better...including pics!

****BTW, Happy Fathers Day to those in Canada****

Looks like i'm in the same boat as you Neo, so much to read, makes it a little overwhelming.
So i'd say my discus are about -1 years old at the moment

i met a breeder that said he had discus that lived to 12 years of age! so it seems once you get them you are into discus for the long haul!

C'mon everyone, let's hear how old your discus are! Can anyone beat 12 years?
