Sad, sad day! :'(

Sad, sad day! My Lemon Peel Angel, Centropyge flavissimus, purchased in 2004 died. There's no data on how long this species lives in the wild but the closely related Bicolor Angel, Centropyge bicolor, has reported life expectancies of 1-13 years. What bothers me is it was looking really good up to when it died. I've seen old fish (particularly wrasses) kinda look "ratty" like an old dog or cat so I was hoping it would live a lot longer.

I am sorry to hear that. I have wondered about the signs of old age in fish.

I had a cherub angel that died at 7.5 years that also did not show any signs of decline. My 3 year old cleaner wrasse on the other hand looked like it was getting old (faded colors, etc) in the weeks before it passed.my 19 yr old flame hawk showed no signs before jumping (sucky way to lose a fish that old). My 21 year old clown seems to be slowing down, spending more time hanging out, but still gets lively when I go near the tank in hope of me feeding it.

I agree. That's a good run for a fish imo
