Who has the oldest Pet Fish?

[Miles]

Hey everyone..

So I was thinking that my buttikoferi, Bradley, sure is spunky for his old age. He has trained my girlfriend to feed him by banging the lids or splashing water. He also doesn't kill the clown loaches he has lived with for a few years.

I purchased him when I was 18, he was full grown.. I'm 32 now, so that makes 14 years and going strong. I wish I had known how old he was when I purchased him way back when.

Who here has the oldest Pet Fish?

Just curious, lasted a long time!

Convict you ask exactly what I was gonna ask! Lol

Boyfriend had a sail fin pleco that lived for 20 years

He lives in a 110g.. 60x18x24"

In the past he has lived in anything from a 55g (sorry buddy) to a 375g.

Love buttikoferi's, hope I can own one in the future when I can house it; don't have space just now
