    Does anyone know what the lifespan is for CPD?

    If we assume it’s the same lifespan as for other danios, then I’d say we’re looking at a range of 2-5 years, depending on tank conditions.

    You can get an idea from Googling this search phrase:

    danio OR danios OR danionin lifespan OR “life span”

    I’m not sure if anyone has had their Celestial Pearl Danios die of “old age” yet considering it’s such a newly discovered fish.

    depends
    i imagine whatever they catch they sell
    so i might be unlucky and have an old fish but the others could be young (under 4 months) etc

    as they were only discovered last yr we wont know until those that have been in captivity from birth die off. then they’ll be able to work out an average. perhaps see how long related species live for and draw an average from those? – that’s the closest estimate you’ll get! :wink:

    Thanks for the responses. Yes, other related species will give me the best lifespan for now.

    Now that CPD have been around for longer does any one have a better answer about their life span?

    Well I have had mine for around 18-24 months and they are still all going strong, so I have no idea :lol:
