How old is your oldest fish?

I currently have a clownfish that is over 11 years old.

Can you really determine this because you don't know how old he was at the LFS. He may be 12 or 13 right?
Well, given that he was a juvenile when I got him, I wouldn't expect him to be over a year old when purchased...but still even if he was, 12 or 13 is still "over 11 years old." :cool:

My Dogface Pufferfish, Puffy, is my oldest fish. He was about 5” long when I first got him 5-6 years ago. I am not sure on age, but estimate about 7-8 years old. (Not sure on actual gender either)

I'm just saying he may be a teenager now and that's where all the problems start. Keep him off his phone.

Haha! Fair warning. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: I'll watch to be sure he doesn't try sneaking out at night or turning up the music too loud.

I've got a yellowtail damsel that I've had for about 9 years and he still swims up to the glass and flares his fins at me. He's a fat, grumpy little guy living his best life. He's taken more damage and recovered more times than I can remember from picking fights with bigger fish.

He's the OG of all my fish in both tanks.
