Fish Age

[The Duke]

What age is your oldest fish and what fish is it?

 

[fluttermoth]

The oldest I'm sure of is my clown plec, who's about six months younger than my middle child, so about 14 1/2 years, but I also have three rescued catfish (a synodontis, and one striped and one spotted talking cat) that I've had twelve years and they were pretty big when I took them in, so they might be older than that.

I also have a few tiger barbs and zebra loaches that are seven or eight.

Mine are a group of x-ray tetras about a year old 14 years old wow that is some achievement!!

Clown loach 22 years old. 5 of them that age. Or at least that's how long I've had them.

The hoplo in my signature, 9 years old. Had him since 2003.
His friend, whom I've bought in 2002, died at the age of 8 in 2010.

22!!!!

At least. I know I have had them longer than my daughter is old, hence 22+. think they can live 40 years.

Wow, now there are some fish that live almost as long as a human and could be lifelong pets. O.O
