Current fish you've had over 2 years?

[danorth]

I have 2, a 12" coris and a yellow tail damsel. My clown trigger will be 2 years in my care in May.

Anyone else? I picked 2 years since I don't have any 3 year fish....

[H^2 Salt]

I have a Gold Striped Maroon that will be 4years old come october......the only sw fish i have left from when the old LFS i worked at closed down...it will be a sad day when he dies!!!

[rafael13]

I have a domino damsel, the poor guy has cycle 3 tanks, and he survived the time I used the wrong king of sylicon to make my sump

green wolf eel blenny
Hawaiian leaf fish
orchid dottyback
bicolor blenny
black sailfin blenny
zebra moray eel
wartskin angler
seahorses

non-fish - scarlet reef hermits, serpent star, mantis shrimp, snails

If I had not had a tank crash due to disease back in 2005, where I lost fish I had already had for 3-7 years, I think I still would have:

emperor angel
mimic tang
harlequin tusk
tomato clownfish
royal gramma

I have lost some fish to surfing, some to other fish eating them, some within the first month (probably not healthy to start). But the biggest cause of fish loss, for me, has been disease, which is why no matter how much of a pain it is, QT and having good meds on hand is really important.

I've had my spotfin butterfly since Aug of 1999. I bought a royal gramma the next year and still have it too.

[mcbaes72]

False Perc since '99. Bought her tank-raised, pretty sure that's why she survived for so long.

I have a vlamingi tang and a magnificent foxface that are almost three years

almost lost the vlaminigi a month ago was at my computer and my dog kept going on the side of my aquarium and back and forth so I decided to take a look and it was on the floor thought it was dead for sure drop it back in the tank sank like a rock to the bottom but slowly saw the gills start to move and took about three weeks to make a full recovery and start eating again.

Wild caught maroon clown will be three years in my care in Feb. 2008 , first fish I ever bought so she's tough and a huge PITA.

[jcopp24]

After watching my Trigger digest the tank I had due to some bad advice, and worse research... I have had her over four years.

She has made it through three tanks... 45 - 75 - 125

And two cracked heaters, before the overflow was installed in the 75.

[jmicky41]

Recently lost my 8 year old flame angel, my 3 year old goldflake and my 2 year old solar wrasse. Excepyt for my 3 year old butterfly, all the rest are newcomers.

Yellow tang 7 years
Pair of 3 stripe damsels 3 years

About a year ago I sold off my reef tank and that had a 7 year old ocellaris clown in it.
