For that commonly asked question -
"How long does this fish live ? " -
here is an on-line book that summarizes longevity records for all fishes
(and other vertebrate groups).

Longevity Records
Life Spans of Mammals, Birds, Amphibians, Reptiles, and Fish
by James R. Carey and Debra S. Judge

You can view the table summarizing fish records here:

http://www.demogr.mpg.de/?http://www.demogr.mpg.de/longevityrecords/

A neat feature of this table is that you can click on the reference number
for each individual record and a pop-up window appears providing the source
of that longevity datum.
