Actually....that is a monster goldfish let's see!!!!!i have quite a few really old fish.. i have a pair of polypterus ornatipinnis that i have had since 1989! so i have had them for 18 years... they were already about afoot long when i got them! they are approx. 20" long now!
i also have a female dovii that is 15 years old! its incredible she has lasted so long... she lost an eye about 10 years ago but survived and still lays the odd batch of eggs!
my pteryodoars granulosus is also over 12 years old.. i was given him in '95.. at about 4" long... he has only grown to about a foot long in that time...

My oldest fish right now is a LMB he is 5........................................months.
I just sold all my tanks with the fish and starting this new bass tank and soon a SW. So I'm lame. I had some that were a few years but nothing that spectacular.

P. tang;749065; said:I have a 12 year old Pleco that I aquired from my mother. She had it since it was 2" and now its around 20", it lived in a 90g until 2 years ago when I moved it to my 300g. That is so neat.. and so huge.what a nice story..
I saw a 40 year old giant gourami two days ago, it was at a fish store, not my own.
my oldest fish are probably my black tetra's i got about 4 years ago with my first personal tank.

None of these fish are younger then 5 years, 2 of the silver dollars are turning 7, and the eel(anguillia rostrata) he's 5 but i've read that this type have been known to live up to 86 yrs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
