My oldest fish is a koi that is about 1 foot and 2 inches long and is about 3 years old?

I've got a red dragon. Looks best under a blue light, but pretty just the same. Similar to the one in your avatar, but a little more pink.

The only fish I currently have is 1 goldfish named Fish. I bought him about 2 years ago, along with 2 others who quickly died. Previously I had 2 goldfish who lived to be 7 years old, from the time I bought them, not bad for $1.50 each. It was a shame. They survived all through high school, parties in my apartment at Ohio State, but died shortly after my move to Minnesota :sad

I will be getting more fish. I just started my SW tank.

I've got a common pleco that I bought about 9 - 10 years ago.... he's respectfully named Tiny..... As much as I thought no one would like him so much, he's everyone's favorite of the tank. Then I have a red tailed black shark who's about 6.
