    I'm just curious how old your oldest fish. If you want to post details, funny stories, pics, ect. that would only make this thread sweeter.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    I have a maroon clown that I have had for over 10 years. He bites like a piranha but my wife loves him. I also have a Occi at RP that Poseidon used to own. I am told she is roughly 18 years old. Funny, she bites too!

    My oldest fish is probably a yellow tang that we got at a LFS (not in business anymore) I could check but it's got to be at least six years old and it was a 5inch fish at the time.

    We have a lot of oldies, with a 10 year old coral beauty leading the pack. Also in the tank are a 8 year old bi-color angel, 7 year old clown goby, and a 7 year old yellow goby. The maroon clown is 5 I think, and the lemon peel angel is 4.....
    Detroit's oldest large LED tank! Est'd Jan 2005, went LED June 2009. 6' wide 130g reef, Sunbrite T10 LED tubes (3xGen 3 and 1xGen 1), mostly SPS, but chalices, other LPS, and a few softies too.

    You know that's where you have to realize.. You have been doing something right for a long time! That is also why I advocate getting this fish you really want, as you may have that other fish for a very long time.
