3-5 years.

There's a theory that fishes live longer in colder water (so long as the temperature is still within comfort range), but I don't know if it's been proven or not.

I think around four years is a good age for a platy. They aren't too long-lived, unless you compare them with mollies.


And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
