How long do occelaris clowns live?
My pair is 14 years old. Tank raised. I thought I read they can live to be about 20 years old, but I really am unsure. Any idea?

There was a thread about a pair of 25 year old ocellaris, so you could potentially have another decade with yours . There is also a pair of 30 year old maroons out there, so clowns do indeed live quite a while.

Wow, for 27year olds I would think they'd be much bigger.
And that tank....uh...well...uh...color? Oh well, hats off to those w/ long term success!

Mine isn't going to live much longer if it doesn't stop biting me.

I found a trick to keep my clown from biting me.
I wear a shiny watch, and she bit at that for some reason. I laughed every time, "Ha Ha, wear your teeth down on that you little snot!" Finally she stopped.

At first I thought it was cute, because all the other fish hide. Every time I put my arm in the tank the clowns bite and the Cleaner Shrimp runs up my arm looking for a snack. R

I almost got rid of my maroon because of this.
She drew blood every time. Now, I'm a carpenter, and I'm used to splinters/cuts, but it would be a sneak attack that would surprise the snot out of me, and usually make me knock something over! Try wearing something shiny. In fact, when you swim in the ocean they rec not wearing shiny, as fish hit that first. Bet it cures her little butt!
