That's impressive. I don't know for sure, but I would think your fish is probably too old to breed. Anyone out there had a severum longer than this??

| Hm...as long as she is still in good physical condition, not losing weight and still showing good color and activity, it is likely she can still produce viable eggs. But, she may not be as capable of handling the rigors of courtship and caring for young. So it's possible, but I wouldn't put a severum her age into the situation. Breeding is a big stress, and it might make her more prone to illness. I'd just keep her healthy and happy and enjoy the bragging rights that come along with a 13-year-old severum. ;)

From what I was able to find it is 10 to 18 years. I am going to agree with Dave that it is to late for her to breed.
