I had an 11 year old Yellow Watchman Goby that had passed away recently. I haven't replaced him because it just won't be the same.

Sorry to hear. I feel your loss.
We lost our most favorite fish recently due to my failure to detect a disease. I put some fish through QT but missed it. Put the fish in our DT and the main guys started dropping like flies. It was heart-breaking to watch our buddy do the herky-jerky death gasping thing. Then the total still-ness after. All the time I'm telling him to 'breathe dude, breathe" Something I'll never be able to forget I'm not generally over emotional, but it's given me some nightmares about tank leaks and such |

I think it was old age. My Purple Tang died 6 months ago and she was at least 20 years old.
I still have a yellow tang and 2 Ocellaris clowns I got back in the mid to late 90's. I haven't added fish to this tank in a long time so it wasn't disease. |

I have been through a couple of dogs during the life of these fish.

I feel your pain, my hippo died this summer and was the same age as yours. Had it since I started in the hobby, only reason it died is because it jumped out of the temporary tank while I moved the main tank
