Under natural conditions, the lifespan of ruby fish is usually between 5-10 years. However, in artificial breeding, because the natural environment cannot be completely restored, it will affect their lifespan to some extent. Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of artificially cultured ruby fish is about 4 years, and few can live to 5 years. If you want them to live longer, you should take care of them and give them a suitable environment.
