Here's a pic of my 26+ year-old Plecostomus. I actually own a fish that is older than my kids! (That kind of ticks them off ;>)
I bought him (her?) from Simi Valley Tropical Fish about a year before my son was born in September of 1983. He's even one of the few lucky survivors of the 1994 Northridge earthquake! My 35 gal tank somehow made it through. The local dumpsters they brought for our cleanup were full of water heaters and fish tanks.
His Pleco buddy of 17 years died about 6 months ago. Now he has a new Pleco friend to push around. Funny how he acts agressive towards other plecos, but they are actually buds who do like to be around each other when they are resting.
