2023: How old will your oldest fish be?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My oldest is a Yoyo loach, 8 yrs old, single becuz his pair died awhile ago and very irritable..chases every fish that comes close to it and only comes out at night or to eat. Got the fish when I was 6 or 7 yrs old I dont really remember lol. Was expecting him to grow but stil like 2-3 inches small

My oldest fish at the moment will be:
Cichlasoma amazonarum "rio esmeraldas" "gold" F0 - possibly 7 years old based on growth rates, at least 6
Amatitlania nanolutea (pair) - possibly 5-6 years old just based on growth rates, had for 3
Amatitlania nigrofasciata "platinum" - 5 years old in June, his kids will be 3 as well
Herotilapia multispinosa - probably 5 or 6, maybe older, had for like 3 years and got her old to begin with
Neolamprologus cygnus - 4 years old
Not old compared to the 20-30 year old pacu or catfish on here, but pretty good I'd say.
I started over in October when I moved, so now my oldest fish is around 10 months, but I’ve had several that long, I do have a lizard and snake about 2 years
