How old is your oldest fish?

[Anonymous]

My oldest fish is a flame hawk, at 6 years old.

Had 2 of these....neither lasted more than 2 weeks...decided to jump out on the wood floors. Damn!

I refuse to get egg crate or anything like it, so no more for me. Shame too, i like the way they just hang onto things :-(

Yellow tang 5+ years (got it at 3 yrs old)

My 8 year old Green Spotted Puffer just died last month. I had him back in my old 55 freshwater tank, which I converted to salt. I had a 7 year old Pygmy Angel that died earlier this year. I have a 7+year old blue damsel, my first true saltwater fish, still living and kicking butt.

I believe the record for longest fish lived in captivity may be Methuselah the Lungfish at the Steinhart Aquarium. I will try to get a picture next time I'm there. He has been at the aquarium since....get this....1938.

I remember reading about a koi that was alive for 200 something years. I'll check to make sure.

I've had my true percula female for 6 years and the male for 4 years. They're breeding now too. My Yellow tang for 3 years.

I stand corrected. The Shedd has had one since 1933 apparently.

Didn't the one at the Shedd die within the last year? :? Maybe I'm dreaming that...

I've got a tomato clown that has been a pain in the ass for 15 years.

The Oregon state fairgrounds kept a sturgeon that was estimated at 60 years back in the early 90's, but then some punk ass kids killed it in the off season. Some peoples children...
