What's the oldest fish in your tank?

I have a number of Shrimp gobies over a year at this point. I'm fairly new to the hobby but I have a peppermint pistol shrimp who will be 2 in around a month. It's paired with a number of gobies over the time. I have a Circus goby who is 14 months, a Yellow watchman and Y-bar goby who has been in the tank around 15 months as well as a Hector's. A Pink-streak or Cryptic 6-line wrasse which is a year now and is only an inch and a half at most. And a Macropharyngodon bipartitus who I have owned almost a year now too. I know it isn't impressive, but I've not been in the hobby that long and have come a long way with wrasses and gobies.

I got Gary in early 2003.
 
My tank has been set up for about three years. I have a Snowflake percula clown and Banggai cardinal that have been with me since the beginning. Both survived a move last January along with their tank mates. Only had one loss, a yellow tailed damsel that must have wedged himself in a piece of rock that was transferred without water. I know, a tough way to go ... RIP.
 
This is Huggy Bear he will be 16 in December!

True perc clown named Jaws. 7 years old and has made it through 3 interstate moves and 6 tank moves. It took 6 years, but she finally stopped biting me (hence her name)
 
I have a pair of GSM clowns that I have had for 17+ years and my guess is they were almost a year old when I got them.
 
Emperor Angel (George) 12 years +

Blue Faced Angel (Calypso) 12 years +

Asfur Angel (Ginger) 12 years +

I have to thank Serv Pro and their "pet safe" anti-mold spray for their untimely demise almost 4 years ago.

I still grieve.

I haven't had a reef tank long enough to have any seriously old fish. I did have a tiger oscar that was with me for about 3 years
