Clowns turned 13 on Friday the 13th! - How old are yours?

[Homebrewer]

Hey all, just thought I’d share... I bought my clownfish pair on September 13, 2006. So really, they’re older than 13, but they just eclipsed 13 years in my home! Here’s a pic of the female, the male is tending to a clutch of eggs and he won’t leave the overhang he’s guarding, so no pic of him right now.

I know there are people out there with older clownfish, and I’m curious to know who has the oldest. If you have some old-timer clowns, let’s see ‘em!

My "Oldest" clown is around 5 years old. Just picked up a baby as my female passed away in the move due to an infection. Tried treating her in QT but she didn't make it But here's hoping to another 5 years

My oldest girl turns 13 next month! Well I got her in Oct 2006. You got yours just before me. At the time "naked" clowns were very exotic. I did lose my male some years ago, but shes been fine on her own since.

Very cool to see others with old(er) fish! Thanks to all that took time to reply!

It's been a month, and I'm still curious if there are others out there, so consider this a bump!

White Wyoming female 9 yrs. She’s the boss, swims next to hand if it’s in tank, used to attack. I guess she’s figured out it’s all hers finally. She shares the tank with a male mandarin, red tuxedo urchin and snails...she’s still the boss!
