Well I know my neon goby is a baby yet as he is only about 3/4" long at the most, and for the rest of them, heck, they did not even come with a "green card" yet alone a birth certificate! So I sure could not even begin to say how old they are.......but I have had them a few months already.

Don't laugh but I have 6 Mollies in my salt water tank that are about 3 years old and they have made the transition from fresh water to salt, back to fresh, and then salt again.

I have my maroon clownfish for 2 1/2 years since the beginning of my tank. If she goes I would be devasted! I wonder how long they live! She is huge!

For me it's my ocellaris clown (female) at a little over 5 years and my yellow tang at just 5 years this month. On the FW side it's my blood parrot at 4 years but I did have a mated pair of marble angels and I had them for almost 8 years before they died - but, I don't know exactly how old they were as they were adults when I bought them.

Late on this post but was looking for something on Regal Tangs and had to reply. My tropheus african chiclid is also 8 years old. He's not looking so good now so I don't expect to see 9. Everything in saltwater tank is < 4 months old.
