How long does a Dragonette live in captivity

Reefbound1 · 07/12/2009, 05:15 PM

I awoke this morning to find one of my older fish has died. My 4 year old Blue Mandarin.For about a week has not been eating and his tail has eroded a little or has been harrassed by another.This fish has had a very good pod population to hunt and also ate Ocean nutrition formula one. My question is, How long do they live in captivity?
My tank is nearly five years old and the other fish I have had since the beginning are doing well. They are a Royal gramma and a Flame angel.
Is there another problem I may have to watch for because of the eroded tail?
