Had a pair of them i bought for my first saltwater tank about 13 years ago. Started in a 10g, then a 20g, a 75g, then a 400g, and lost them with the rest of my livestock when something nasty sprung up during a tank teardown while they were in a temporary tank. I believe i had them for about 11 years and since 3/4" long.

Mine are still going strong, although I have a completely physicotic one in my 27g at work. She attacks anyone who dares to stick their hand in the tank.No eggs in tank so I don't know what she is protecting, all this behavior started after the cleaner shrimp died.

One of my true Percs is almost 3 years old. But I guess she doesn't count in this poll...

Ive had horrible luck with clowns for what ever reason, none living past 3 months.. I have a new pair this time waiting till the rest of my tank was settled.. and they are doing well at 2months as a pair.. sooo here is hoping for more than a year!

Is it just clowns you are having trouble with?
