I have persoanlly kept them for 3 years and know of others that are working on 5+ years with the same seahorses.
As far as a life expectancy of these guys, we're still not sure. This aspect of the SW hobby is so young yet. With the recent availablility, last 2-3 years, of true captive bred seahorses it has become easier to track them and keep records of their life.
With the right conditions we imagine you may be able to get 6-7 years or more out of these guys.
