Got a new pic? Btw it is not May yet...not quite! :p

Update May, 2014. Alive and well at 7 years now.

Update: Now over 8 years in the tank.

Want pics! My fav "common" tang! How big is he now?

I don't think he has grown much in the past few years. Still looks like the photo above in 2011. Anyway...9 years in the tank now.

WOW!

That's awesome your able to keep one this long. Most people don't realize how long these fish live. Cool thread

Shame about Photobucket and all those images not present anymore...

...but that fish is doing fine at 10.5 yrs now.

Another year goes by... he would be 11 years and a bit now.

... 12.5 years in the tank as of now.
