I've always wanted one of these guys and have been researching them in preparation to get one.
I reaquascaped my 29 gal last night and moved my fish to a different tank. But as I was reading, I found conflicting info about their lifespan. Some say they only live a few months, while others have kept them for years. I know that feeding them too often can lead to early death, but I was just wondering if anyone on the boards has tried them or knows about this. I tend to get pretty attached to my fish, so I wouldn't want to keep it for only a few months.
