I have a blue damsel that I've had for 8-9 yrs now. He started out in the 20H and moved to the 60g yrs ago. He's also not a normal damsel as he has never been aggressive towards any new fish.
This little guy has made it thru so many storm related tank disasters and twice in the last yr, he had a huge gash down half his body.

What's the oldest fish ya'll have?

Sea in the City, a LFS in Orlando Florida, is said to have a pair of maroons that's pushing 30 years in captivity. Naturally, I have no way of substantiating this claim because I haven't fallowed these fish for the past 30 years. It just seems to be common knowledge in the area.

Wow, I just posted this on another thread on RC.

My occ clowns are still spawning next to their beloved anemone after over 15 yrs in my tank. They look and act the same as they did ten years ago. I have no idea how long these guys live.
