Lifespans

Old age is relative.
Bettas average 3 years, and most are 6+ months old when purchased.
Angels 10+ years.
And old for me is always at least ten years older than I am now.

Anyway, get corys for all your tanks! You won't be sorry.

That's true! I'm just paranoid that I'll want to take a break from fish, and so I've been afraid to get any fish that live 10+ years.  Oh well! I'll deal with that if it happens (not likely, but who knows.)
 
I'd love to have a few different varieties.  I wonder how the fish in the tank I plan to use for breeding would feel about them
 

Well, some good news, I recently sold an older Pleco via local buyer on eBay. Some people still like them. And I bumped into them in the street and they said their original tiny Plecos now lay next to the big mummy Pleco!

That is good news!! I'm glad there are people out there who are willing to take on these fish that need good homes.  Aww that sounds adorable, I love little Plecos
