The life span of map fish is about 5-10 years, and they belong to one of the tropical fish with longer life span. But their longevity is also affected by the way they are raised and the environment. Under normal circumstances, wild map fish have a longer life span, which can last for about 10 years. Because there is plenty of space in the wild and the environment is suitable for their growth, their life span will be relatively long.

The life span of captive map fish will be shorter, about 5-6 years. Because captive breeding can't completely simulate the wild environment, and there is not enough space, their life span will be shorter. If captive map fish often get sick, their life span will be shorter.

Map fish belong to medium-sized fish, and their body length is generally between 25-30 cm when they are adults. How big they can grow depends on the way they are raised. If they are raised properly, they will be bigger. If the feeding environment is poor, the body shape will also be affected.

If you want to raise map fish artificially, you should feed them more animal feed. For example, bumper shrimp, red worms, bread worms, Tenebrio molitor, etc. These foods contain large protein and fat, which can provide more nutrition for their body development. It is also necessary to ensure that their living environment is comfortable and there is no violent fluctuation. So that they can grow and develop better.
