What was the oldest fish you ever kept or still have? I have a silver $ right now that is almost 4. My Oscar was about 4 1/2 when HITH got him.:(

One of my bronze corys, Jo, and a CAE, Sam VI are my oldest. I got them both at the same time, 8 years ago. Jo's partner, Mo, died in February.

My longest lived was a figure-8 puffer, who lasted more than 18 years. A number of other figure-8s have made mid teens, and GSPs into early to mid-teens. A number of cichlids have made it to the teens as well.

We had a goldfish for 15years.
It would still be alive if my dad hadnt changed the water when the city was dumping massive amounts of chlorine and other chemicals to get rid of spyrdium and other nasties.

My cleaning lady told me she had a feeder goldfish that she won in a fair in Ireland when she was a girl. They kept it in a glass bowl on their counter and frequently it jumped out and was rescued. The fish lived for 10 years. Imagine that!

Our oldest one is an 8 year old blackskirt tetra my sister first got after she had cycled her 20 gallon tank. :) That was the lone survivor after her heater stuck on and wasn't noticed until the temperature was close to 90 F.
