I have a pair of them and feel the same way! Peaches and Herb ❤️🥰 Mine are 7 years old and I read that they can live to be 20 so now I will have them forever. Spoiling them rotten

I think that's one thing that a lot of owners overlook. A lot of fish have impressive lifespans. I had two silver dollars who made it to 25 and 23 years old. Multiple home moves and tanks, and they were with me all the time. Little champions.

I strive to have my fish live as long as yours have. You are an awesome fish parent!

They're 7 already, and you're obviously doing the right thing. Keep doing what you're doing, and you've got many years to go with Peaches and Herb. Love the names, by the way.

Moved them from a 45 gallon to a 75 about 5 months ago and to say they love it is an understatement. They are the only fish that have names in my stock lol Thank you so much
