he's got some that were over 12" long, i think the 30yr old was around 10" and the 33yr old was 8"
I got 20 koi 2" long in 1990. So they are 18 now. I have a cockatoo bird who is 30. Can he count? My plecos are 12 years old and 28" long.
dojo loaches about 5-7 years old and a goldfish that is 7-9 and was born in my pond......won't talk about other fish that died during that time...
I have 6 koi that are between 14-17 years old and about a dozen goldfish between the ages of 12 and 17. I also have a 7 year old Jag and Florida Gar.
I have a 25" ID shark that is appr 18 years old. He has owned me for almost 16 years and I figure he was about 2 when I bought him at 10". He is in my avatar.
Practical fishkeeping have recently done a "golden oldies section"
The oldest was a koi that was over 200 years old.
Here are some of the others
a 17year old Kuhli Loach
a 28 year old Common Plec
a 30 year old Ornate Bichir
a 31 year old Pacu
a 37 African Lungfish
and a 43 year old Goldfish
