You must be taking exceptionally good care of himCommon Pleco Lifespan
In pristine conditions, the typical Common Pleco lifespan is between 10 and 15 years! They have a longer life expectancy than most tropical fish, so be prepared for years of care.
As always, there’s no guarantee with any fish species when it comes to lifespan. The quality of care you provide will impact the fish’s overall health for better or worse.

Wow! That’s a long time for a mammalstory of my life

Donkeys outlive most horses and are best matched with another donkey. Their average lifespan is over 27 years and they can often live up to 40 years.
