Over the years I've become an excellent fish killer but I do have a pair of Perc clowns that have survived in spite of me that are 18 years old. The female is over 4" long, nose to tailMy 7 y/o blue damsel passed away this year...(my profile picture)
We adopted a Koran angel, Sohal, and porcupine puffer who were all over ten years old and LFS returns. The own sold them ten years prior and the owner couldn’t upgrade to bigger tank so traded in for smaller fish. We saw them all and took them home to our 180gal which still wasn’t big enough. One year later we upgraded to a 300g, 8’ for them and have had them over 3 years now. So they are 13+ yrs old. We also still have our first fish 6 yrs clown and 6yrs yellow tang, hippo tang, valentini puffer and coral beauty angel. I hope to have them 20 + yrs like some of you! It’s awesome to have these for so many years. I feel blessed!
Our fish have a big home than we do!My clowns have been with me for around 11 years or so. Mandarin the same
Can you adopt me. I need a larger home! ;Happy
Did not know cardinals live that long ! Wow
Our fish have a big home than we do!
I’m similar. My SW fish have all now been with me 3 years but prior to that I had a FW Angel about 14 years old and a Blue Ram Cichlid around 10.I've only had salt for a few years but I have a 20 yr old fresh water YoYo loach.
This is a great story and a great pic. It's one thing to live a long time in one tank but it's amazing how yours have survived for so long and so many tank changes!These two clowns have been with me for 12+ years (they are 2-3 years apart). Forgetting when I actually bought them in college, but they lived in a 80 gal, moved home 6 hour drive, into same 80 gal, then into a 90 gal. Bought my first house, moved the 90 there. Eventually got a 210 they went in. Had a kid and downsized to a 45 gal cube. Moved again into our second house, same 45 gal tank and finally this year into another 210 gal tank. So they have been in 5 different tanks and moved tanks 7 times. They’ve been through it all, even some crashes early on. Big gal is mean and has taught the little one to be mean too! Finger biters! But I love having them!
Sailfin ought in '94 at about ~ 5"-6" long. Blonde Naso bought in 2004 at about ~6" long
