That is awsome!

This is a spawning pair of fireclowns, the larger one is about 25 and the smaller one is about 18.
This pair of hermit crabs both died at 12 years old. The female is the one with the blue eyeshadow and the sexy above the knee shell.

I had a Damsel live to 17 and a Marine Betta live to 10 then a big crash took them both about 3-4 years ago.
Unfortunately this is the only picture I have of them both together.

That's a beautiful beta and setup!
I had a Hawaiian Convict Tang for 15 years, then a glass heater broke and tripped the circuit breaker. They have to be 5 inches to collect in Hawaii because the are a 'food fish'.
That means it was at least 5 to 10 years old when it was collected. John Randall's PhD thesis was on Convict tangs and I recall he did have there growth rates. Can't remember the exact numbers but after it reached a certain age/length they would only grow 1 mm per month which means about 1/2 inch per year at the most under optimal conditions in the ocean.

I'm sorry for your loss bandits are beautiful
I have had many including Tangs, clowns and especially Rabbits live past 13 years. In my current system I have a one spot Rabbit I put in there 8.5 years ago when I built the system and a Sailfin Tang that is much younger than that. I've had anemones go over 20 years.

My Porcupine Puffer and my Dwarf Golden Moray are 4 years old at least. My porky was the first fish I bought when I got into this 4 years ago in October and I got my eel in November. The porky was clearly a baby but the eel is still pretty much the same size. I have lost a bunch of fish over the 4 years, but my puffer and eel continue to be my "rocks." The puffer has kicked ich twice and has come back stronger each time!!
Hopefully I have him for 20 years, he's my buddy and greets me every day when I come home. He lets me pet him also!

I have a yellow tang and three perculas 11 years old. A. akallopisos and a Gramma 10 years. They are all in best health exept for the Gramma that is old and fat and lazy. The clowns are not as aggresive as when they were young. Now they let the tang graze 2 inches from their eggs.
