dwarf pleco longevity question

[Nyx]

I have a small pleco that was sold to me as a "Candy Cane" pleco. He looks like a Clown Pleco to me. He's about 3" long. Sorry, I don't have any pics because he's shy and nocturnal. Does anyone know what the longevity for these fish is? I've had him for about 22-23 years.

Well, it looks like my clown pleco has passed away. I haven't seen him in several months, not even during water changes, tank clean ups, or at night as he's nocturnal. So, it looks like about 23 years was his life span. R.I.P., Hoover.
