How old is your oldest fish?

[saltyunderground]

Mine is this royal gramma. She is about 5-6 years old and is one of the first fish I bought for my original tank. She has lived in 3 different tanks. Her name is Ilene because she accidentally lost a fin in the first tank move.

I lost my oldest fish a couple months ago due to jumping. A false perc I bought at Inland Aquatics as a little bitty guy. He was over 2 years old when he jumped. Not sure who my oldest is now as I got at least one or two fish from other people in there. Foxface might be the oldest.

I have a yellow tang "Woodstock" that is almost two years old and a damsel in my nano tank that is almost three years old and it seems like nothing will kill him lol. My daughter has dropped toast, pop tarts, pickles and many many other things in the tank he is in over the past year and to my surprise he is still ticking.

My first reef inhabitants were a clarkii clown and long tentacle anemone 11 years ago. They are still going strong. The clarkii now looks like a bluegill.
