15 Gallon Aquarium?

If so not long... maybe a year or so at best before it stunts and starts to die.

Properly cared for they can live well over 6 years.

Forgot my nanaman...

Yeah, they need a much larger tank than a 15 gallon. They are active swimmers, and need the extra room.

If properly cared for, these fish will easily live upwards of five years.

both john and sirbooks are right
RTBS are always active and need atleast a 3 foot tank (36gal) in this tank they should last for around 5 years
