I have a Kuhli Loach that is about six years old. Its kind of a miracle its still around. During a water change a couple years ago it jumped out of the tank while I was out of the room dumping the water. I dont know how long it was out of the tank because I thought it was under the gravel at first, but then I found it on the floor behind the tank covered in dust. I got it back in the tank and the dust cleaned off its head as soon as I could.
Guess it doesnt really count because it died a few days ago, but I had a Pristella Tetra that was the last of a group of 5 I bought at about the same time as the above loach. Three of the 5 were alive until about a year ago when one died, then the last two died within the last couple months.

The Shedd aquarium in Chicago claims the longest lived fish currently in captivity. It's an Australian lungfish named Grandad. They got him in 1933, when he was already an adult. He was shipped by boat from Australia to San Francisco, then made the rest of the trip in a customized rail car. His mate survived until 1980.

my black freshwater shark ive had for about 30 years & he wasn't a baby when I got him ,came from an asian fish store on sheppard in a basement of asiancourt in a tank by himself in toronto, he was about 4 inches long maybe 6 .I spent about 20 on him & hes around 18 inches now & quite stout with no signs of deterioration. Only thing I notice with him that changes is although a black shark he turns the colour of the food hes eating .Ive seen him red green & grey but the outer rim of his scales remaine black .if I find blackworms ile get to see him jet black maybe.the ones in stores are about 2 inches
