oldest fish?

[OrionGirl]

We had a redtail shark and raphael cat that lived to be at least 15. I can't recall when they were purchased, but we had them before we moved, and they died after being in the 'new' house for that length of time.

Why so small still? I've had 2yr old plecos hit the 24"mark or bigger.

WOW I thought mine was growing quickly, though it seems the bigger he gets, the slower he grows. Up to now, he's been in a 55 gallon but I plan on moving soon and with the move, he will be put in a larger tank.

I had one goldfish and two kuhlis given to me be a friend moving out of state, I had them 7 years when they died, but they were probably closer to 10 since she'd had them awhile before I got them.
