Daniel Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 We had a house fire in early 2013 so that kind of draws a line in the sand for how old any of my fish could be. The angelfish that I just sold recently would’ve been from late 2013, so that would be seven years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I just recently lost a couple angelfish that I had for six years, I got them as adults from someone who told me they had them for a couple years. Currently I have a clownfish that is between 6-8 years old, I don't remember exactly when I got her, I just know I first set the tank up in between the times my two kids were born and I got her not long after setting tank up.

JRed Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I had a maylandia lombardoi (Kenyi cichlid) for almost 8 years before he past - plus he was already 3" when I got him so probably add 1-2 years. I also have a pair of synodontis njassae I bought 2 years ago and they were already 10" when I got them, so I am sure they are pretty old to begin with - hopefully they live the 20+ years they are supposed to.

Andrew Puhr Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I have a Sterbai Cory that I purchased shortly after getting into the hobby in Fall 2018 so he is probably 2.5 now which is exciting for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only found his skeleton😭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larrimore Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I have a pleco that is 5-6. I didn't realize angels lived for so long. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Pearl Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I have a common pleco which I rescued from a friend who was getting rid of their tank. We've had him for I guess more than 10 years now. He was a few years old when we got him. We've named him "Draco" and love him, but he is really a monster of the tank and we need to find him a new home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 In the past, I had a betta and a small algea eater. I re-homed them to a friend after 2 years. Currently, dwarf emerald rasboras are about 5-6 weeks old(???) Group pic is from 10/18 and solo pic from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
