I have a pair of 16 year old clowns that were my first saltwater fish. I bought them in 2006 in Montreal when I moved into my wife’s apartment. They have moved with us clear across the country twice and a couple of shorter moves as well. They are still doing well! Pardon the quality of the picture. I am mid upgrade.

I had a Sohal Tang for over ten years. My Koran Angel is the oldest now at 6 years.

I have a small fresh water eel who is probably about 15 years old. Sometimes I don't even see him for a year or so then he reappears.

Oldest fish I have are a pair of black and white clowns that were the first fish I purchased for my previous 250l tank almost 12 years ago. They are now in my new tank and still going strong...

We've had our coral beauty angel 4y 6m now and the yellow tang 4y 3m. Angel was the same size it is now so I imagine it was a few years old to begin with.

Sailfin ought in '94 at about ~ 5"-6" long. Blonde Naso bought in 2004 at about ~6" long



Sadly and with a heavy heart I have to report the loss of both the sailfin and blonde naso due to the idiocy of ERCOT, the texas power regulatory agency. >:( Beside losing corals I've had since the mid 90s I also lost a marine betta bought in '95.

Sorry for your loss.
I lost my Flame Hawk a few months ago, it was my fathers before he passed away and i carried it on, we had him for 12 years, which i think is an excellent age for a Flame Hawk
