i have had my opaline gourami for 5 tears now and it died a couple of days ago. i hope this is due to it coming to the end of it's natural life, it was not displaying any signs of illness before. does anyone know how long this fish is expected to live, also is there anywhere i can look up the expected lifespan of other fish? i have not been able to find such information in any of the books i own or have looked at in the library, i know it's not an exact science but it wouldbe nice to have some idea. (at present i have guppies, black widow tetras, and some ringed loaches)
Answers:
Gouramis life expectancies are between 2.5 and 7 years, so I would say you took good care of your fish and it just died a happy old grandpa.
They live for about 6 years so i guess it died from old age and should cheer you up abit.
Look at this site it gives you profiles of fish and tells you how long they live, hope this helps.

5 years is about average for gouramis
