10 years....congrats!!
They could live another 10 years if you keep doing what you are doing. What's your secret? WE could all learn from your experience. I doubt that there are many that can claim to having a s/w fish for 10 years. I just got inspired to start a new thread...thanks!

Monthly water changes and check water conditions. I started him in a 36 hex tank. I just moved him to a new tank this past weekend. I thought couse of his age he might not make, but he doing fine. Over the years he has gave me problems when I add a new fish. He attacks any fish that I add.

That IS amazing mgann, I didn't think a fish could live that long in captivity, I thought like 5 tops. Is he your only fish?

Thats a long time to keep a tomato alive and well. Mine has been in my system for just over two years. I hope to be able to keep him much longer. The only problem I've had with mine is his tendacy to re-arrange the sand bed to his personal liking. I've named him Tommy the landscaper!!

nmreef,
you should see my tank. there's craters all over the place. at first i couldnt' figure out what was happening but then i started to notice that my damsels were changing the place. When my clown was in the same tank, he was guilty of it too. But yeah, it looks like a hundred meteors hit the place. My eel will come by and graze the ground and it seems to help but after a while to flatten it out, my efforts have gone pointless

Going on 4 years for my tomato "Flounder". He was the first fish I bought. He is getting pretty cranky as he gets older though.
