Could be 2 weeks - 12 weeks. Longest I have heard of was 2 years in a BIG tank.

Marine fish can live for years and years. As long as the environment they are in is kept up, stabile and the fish stays healthy with nutritional foods, I wouldnt see why you couldnt have a fish for over 10 years without a problem and even longer.
