Subject: Golden Orfe

Question
Can you tell me how long Orfe live please, we have three and they are about 14 years old. We noticed one has been very sluggish and not moving much we think that has been over the past week, as we havnt been around much. We have treated the water with medifin. Thankyou

Answer
Hi Pat,

Orfe could live to up to 25 years more or less.

As the fish grow, also the level of ammonia in the pond could increase.
That has some adverse effects on their overall health.

Try keeping them in a separate tank and change the water on your pond.

Good luck.

Carlo
