I have a Zebra Damsil (which I started my first tank with), Yellow Tang, 2 Tomato Clowns, had them all 8+ years...and a Yellow Tail Blue Damsil I've had 6 years and the guy I got it from had it in a 40G tank holding his rock (with only an aquaclear and small heater, he forgot it was even in there, and it was in there for almost a year) and in his tank for 2 years, which he started his tank with.

I have a six year old Yellow Tang, and a Tomato Clown that's gotta be at least ten. I'm not really sure of its exact age, but it was fully mature, old and grumpy when it was given to me six years ago.

Been in the hobby six plus years and still have my original two fish, yellow tang and black blotch trigger. Not that there weren't casualties along the way, but the old timers rank up there with the dogs for getting affection !

oh yah, and I'm old too.
