The colorful angelfish is a very ornamental fish. The color is very beautiful, and it is more popular with farmers. Their longevity is more concerned by breeders. Their lifespan is an approximate number of years, normally between 5-7 years, that is, under the right circumstances, in the case that they do not die of illness. Their specific lifespan is affected by many factors. For example, if it is wild colorful angelfish, their lifespan is relatively long, basically more than 5 years if there is no pollution; however, if it is some artificially cultivated species, then the lifespan will be relatively short.

In addition, their lifespan is also related to the method of breeding. If the breeding method is appropriate and the surrounding environment is suitable, the life expectancy will be longer, but generally it is about 5 years, and rarely reaches 7 years. The colorful angelfish aged between 3-4 years is the most robust period. In addition, their lifespan is also related to the species. There are some artificially improved varieties that have a very short lifespan, basically dying in 2-3 years, and they are very easy to age.
