How old is your oldest fish?

[Daniel@R2R]

I have a clown that’s between 8-9 yo. She is a demon.

Haha! Yep! That's standard clown behavior!

How old is your oldest fish?

I currently have a clownfish that is over 11 years old.

My gold stripe maroon clown pair are approx 26 years old this year and still laying eggs.

The PBT in my avatar lived to 17 and currently have an Ocellaris thats about 27. It originally belonged to a friend who said it was close to 15 when he lost his tank during Hurricane Sandy.

Ocellaris clown that I’ve had for 18 years now that’s currently going on its 5th tank upgrade.

My spawning pair of clowns. Female just turned 23 and the male 21.

I have a 17 year old hippo tang and had a 13 year old stars/stripes puffer.

Purple Tang > 30 years old. Have had it since high school.

My original ocellaris was 25 (she was tank raised and I got her at about 6 months old) and spawning every 9 days when I lost my tank to a GFI failure. My one spit foxface rabbit fish was 9 years at the time and coral beauty was 7.

I had a flame hawk that carpet surfed a a couple months shy of me having it 20 years.

I’m convinced that most of our fish can live very long in captivity, much longer than books say and much longer than the wild.

Not a fish, but I have had my box turtle for about 49 years, and she is about the same size as when I found her. I have also had her longer than my brother - as a kid I always said she had seniority

That’s amazing. So cool

 

[FernBluffReef]

My oldest. My clowns I've had for 6 months as of a couple days ago. LoL.

Just getting back into reeding after 22 year hiatus. Hope mine will live as long as all of you alls. Great fish parents.

My clown pair are 6 years old. Followed by my lyretail anthias at 3.5 years in my tank but were older at purchase so they may be 4.5 or 5 or so? Maybe someone can help approximate from this Pic at the LFS the day I got them in Nov 2020

 

[DIYreefer]

I've got a clownfish that is 18 or 19 years old (only has one eye now but is as mean as ever ). I've also got a yellow tang that has been with me for 12 or so years.

 

[Paul B]

These guys are 33 or 34.

since 2014.

This is going to sound mean but the eeriness of the photograph made me think “oh no zombiefish!”

 

[i cant think]

At the minute it’s my 5-6 year old Jade Wrasse, who considering he’s meant to be the most aggressive wrasse… he’s not doing a great job at it and instead hides a ton in the 5’ tank.

I made an artistic interpretation of the fish vision...
or I tried to make a blurry photo interesting.
I'm not sure yet.

10 year old clown! Shes almost 11. Adopted her almost a year ago. Lost my beloved purple tang HLLE rescue last month. LFS said she was six or seven years old. Had her for a year. Miss her

How big’s your tank, how big was he when you got him and how big is he now?
