The move two years ago took out my WSM (I'd had her for a little over 12 years). Current oldest- Jenn's female Cinnamon is right at 10 years old.

The oldest fish I currently have is a clown that I got when I bought my tank 3+ years ago. It was already full grown when I got it. I know 3 years isnt very old but this little guy is hardy. On the night I got the tank, I had all the fish that came in the deal sitting in a 20g tank while I was trying to get the 120g back up and running. I wasn't able to get it finished, so I decided to leave the fish in the 10g tank for the night. Well when I got up the next morning I found that the heater had failed. All of the fish,except for the clown, had been boiled. I dont know how it lived, but it did.

Clarkii Clown - We've had it for 9 years. It came as a juvenile.

The clown is still doing fine, 14 years later. I don't know if they could live that long in the wild without being eaten.

When I started I got the clown fish like everyone else does. My female clown is still with me, she is a bit over 5 years old.

Wild caught Aussie black/white clownfish. She was 3 years old when I bought her from another reefer. That was about 4.5 years ago so she is bare minimum 8 years old in home aquariums and she lays eggs regularly!
