I often hear people say "10000 years of grass seeds, 10,000 years of fish roe", so how long can fish live, and what does a fish look like when they die of natural age. One of the funniest sayings is that "how long a fish can live depends on when the person eats it".
So how long do fish live in an ideal environment? The following is the approximate lifespan of 20 species of freshwater fish (including ornamental fish) based on existing information and highly authoritative sources, to see how many years the ideal life span of the fish we often eat, for your reference only (Note: not all freshwater fish have detailed and recognized data records for lifespan, and this data only comes from public data summary)
Red Arowana
1. (1) The golden dragon and red dragon in the ornamental arowana may live for more than 100 years in the wild, which is one of the longest-lived species among freshwater fish. Highly recommended to keep the fish, not only very beautiful, but also able to watch us grow up and then watch us leave.

(2) Although the blackfish (snakehead) is not explicitly listed as the longest-lived freshwater fish in some sources, it is rumored to live up to 100-200 years in waters without human interference. It is nutritious and especially suitable for drinking soup after surgery.
(3) The latest research on buffalo fish (including smallmouth buffalo fish and black buffalo fish) shows that both smallmouth buffalo fish and black buffalo fish can live for more than 100 years.
