The lifespan of tiger fish is about 2 to 5 years. However, the lifespan of tiger fish is not absolute. If the tiger fish is not affected by disease during its growth and can maintain a suitable breeding density, as long as the breeding environment, temperature and diet are appropriate, the tiger fish may live for more than 5 years. If it is not maintained well and the growing environment is not suitable, it may contract diseases and shorten its lifespan.

Methods to keep tiger fish alive for a long time:

1. Tiger fish themselves are lively and active. This characteristic causes their consumption of oxygen to increase. If If the dissolved oxygen in the water is low, the health of the fish will be affected, so an oxygen pump needs to be turned on regularly to provide oxygen during the feeding process. At the same time, tiger fish like to swim in groups, so it is best to use a large breeding tank for group breeding.

2. Tiger fish can eat a lot of food, such as red worms, earthworms, feed, etc., and its food intake is relatively large. When feeding, its food intake must be properly controlled, otherwise It’s easy to overeat.

3. Piranha fish are suitable for growing in clean waters, so the water in the breeding tank needs to be changed regularly to maintain stable water quality. If the water quality is not good, the fish will feel uncomfortable and its lifespan will also be affected. At the same time, the water temperature should be maintained at around 24-28°C to keep them in suitable conditions.

4. If the tiger fish is injured, usually it is necessary to change the water, heat it up and add salt. If it has not recovered, it will also need to take a medicinal bath according to the condition.
