I had a Tomato Clown for about 12 years. At 8 she survived a 2 week power outage in the middle of August and the tank temp was 94. The oldest thing I had was some live rock that had built up around a clam, the entire rock would flip open when it was hungry. It had been in a DT in a store in Hawaii since the early 1950s. It did not survive the power outage.

This is a cool thread, I'd like to hear more, but since this is the new hobbyist forum most people have not had their fish very long at all, it might be a good idea to move it to the fish discussion part of the board

ALOT of species can live up to 25 years and some considerably longer. Life span on Hawaiian Dragons is 30 - 35 years, so biologists/researchers say.
