Who owns the oldest fish on MFK?

I know some guys have fish they've had 6-7 years, but has anybody got a fish they've has for agesssssssssssss as in over 10 years?

Very interested to find out who has the oldest fish in MFK, I know when we buy fish sometimes it's hard to gauge how old they are, but in terms of how long you've kept them for...

Post what fish and how long you've kept him, whoever has the oldest fish wins a prize

We bought this Gold Pearlscale Angel in late 1997. He was about 1 1/2" long at the time, so he is definitely over 10 years, but not by much.

I bought a 4" Pseudodora niger in August 1999. He was 24" and 9 pounds when he died last July (I moved him to a bigger [180 g] tank and he stopped eating) I guess that would have made him 8+ years old.

I have a Rainbow Shark, recently moved from my community tank to a new big tank, and a Khulli loach still in the small tank who are originals from when the community tank was first set up 11 years ago.
