How old is your oldest fish?

[Anonymous]

I have a ocellaris that is around 7-8 years old, along with a damsel that is about 5, and a few other old ones. When poeple have fish their entire normal lifespan that is the thing to aim for. I am sure there are people here that have had fish 15+ years.

How long you have it, or how old it is biologically?

I've had my female maroon clown for going on 5 years now. She was fully mature when I got her, so figure probably a couple years old already.

My female clownfish is like 16 years in captivity, but wasn't mine for all that time.

I did have a clownfish that I recently took back to the fish store to find a new home that I had since 1998.

My oldest fish now is my hippo tang, 4 years.

A hippo tang, zebra moray, and dogface puffer that are all 3 years in my tank, and were pretty much adult size when I got them, so probably at least 4 years old.

On campus we have a 17 year old carpet anemone! 8O

bar, with your 9 year old hippo tang, have you ever encountered any head and lateral line erosion?

Just curious.

Recently mine had a few pin holes on both sides of his head form. I guess I had thought that just feeding a wide variety of food would be good enough, but I started to go real heavy on selcon soaked nori and added a few other foods, and sure enough it cleared up.

My foxface has been with me since the beginning
(you know...the good and the bad... :roll: )

5 years this January, and he was 6 inches then. Now he's maybe 7 or 8 inches.

I have had a few fish for up to 7 - 10 years.
The longest was a tomato clown that I kept for 13 years. I'm not sure how old it was when I got it though.

My original Cap Clown is 11 years old. It's with someone else now (too festy in my tank).
