What is the oldest fish you have in your tank?

[kinlayan]

currently my Clown trigger been with me 14 years but is much older as it was an adult already when i got it. My flame angel was with me over 16 years and i estimate was about 20 years old when it passed away

When I had my 265 running all the fish were at least 12 years old, I had a powder blue, a coral beauty and flame, an argi( he might have been around 10) and a sailfin. Needless to say I had a party at the house and the next morning when I went to the tank everything was dead. Including corals, This is hat made me take a 5 year break from the hobby.

That's awful - I think it might make me take a break from my friends, too.

i am in this hobby for 4 years...and my oldest being a picasso trigger i have for 3&1/2 years...and a queen coris for 3 years...i know it is pretty lame considering many guys here,but my queen coris was 3 inch when i acquired it with juvenile colour,and it's now 7inch with full adult colour...it gives me hope to go on with this hobby and improve,when i suffer some setback or make mistakes...

My female percula was purchased in November 2007, and was the first fish in my tank.
I recently picked up a pair of tomato clowns that the previous owner said were over 5years old.
