What is your oldest fish?

[DMD123]

I ran into an old friend recently and we got to talking about his fish and we came to realize that he has a synodontis angelicus that was like 30yrs old.

So how about you, what is your oldest fish?

I have had a Sailfin Pleco for almost 2 years

I have a bunch of kids. Mine is my Dovi, about 2.5 years old.

Man, I thought we would see some older fish... My midas and sailfin pleco were both 3yrs old, sad that I just lost them both. My 3 red hook silver dollars are about 2 1/2 yrs old.

My firemouth pair is over 7 years old. And my big male jag is 6. My L200 is at least 3 or 4, don't know for sure but I got it at full size like 2 years ago.

Those are some beautiful firemouth you have, did not know they were that old.

My oldest are some mbuna that were born in my tanks about 7 years ago. I still have five males from that brood.

Betty, vw, you two have the oldest fish so far at 7 years.

Anyone else with fish at least that old?
