How long does a vampire fish lives?

Vampire fish, also known as Payara or Hydrolycus scomberoides, have an average lifespan of approximately 10 to 15 years in the wild. However, their lifespan can vary depending on factors such as habitat conditions, diet, and overall health. In captivity, with proper care and optimal living conditions, vampire fish may have a longer lifespan, potentially exceeding 15 years.
