Thanks for all of the replies so far. It's nice to see that there are so many "old" fish out there with dedicated owners.

I still need to look back in my records to see how long I've had my fish... perhaps my forgetting is a sign that I'm getting old!

I think you need to change your user name... after 5 years you can be a noob any more!

Yes I have had my share of experience, I don't consider myself a noob anymore. That was the handle I use on other forums so I just stuck with it.

My ole man of the tank....a six year old Flame Hawk. Besides being the oldest he is also my favorite. I also have a pair of Maroons and a pair of True Perks that were purchased around the same time.

We have a black onyx clown that will be 32 years old this December. She is on her 3rd mate. Still breeding (I heard about things like that at my Moms nursing home but didn't believe it.) She is in our frag tank if you want to see her. Brian at Oceans and Seas
