    can fish live?
    also how long does it take for a fish to reach its full size?

    Reef tank fish wise, like..clown fish, or chromis, or coral beauty, etc etc

    depends on each species. Some clowns/other fish live for years. However some fish such as a cleaner neon goby live for a year or less (if i am correct from my sources). Thats why i look into each species/creature to see if i am suited to house if for life and if it will THRIVE, not just survive. just my 2 cents.

    i was watching a saltwater fish tank video and the clowns that they had were 13 years old, now that is a long time. and it took for my clowns to go from 1 inch to 2.8inches in about 12 months. which is not 3.5 inches but that is a lot of growth for them years.
