todd3x Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I recently traded a 10" Sailfin Pleco named Hoover that I bought in 1999 so that makes him about 8 years old. He lived with about 20 cichlids, survived two tank wrecks and still looked great when he left. My record for a guppy is about 15 months!

Tanker Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 My dad has a pair of oscars that must be over 10 years old. He's had them that long and they were nearly a foot when he got them - so maybe as high as 15 years old? The bigger one is 16", the smaller one is 'only' 14". They actually chase his dog (a Yorkie cross) away from the tank if she gets too close. Personally my oldest current fish is about three years old - based on an educated guess of him being one when I got him. Next summer we'll hopefully start buying our pond fish, so we plan on having the same koi for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
