Just curious about how long some of you have had your fish? I did a search but really couldn't find anything about how long most saltwater fish live in captivity.
my oldest fish is 5 mounths old, a pj cardinal
but i have had these snails that we got from the nj coast that have servived everything for 2 years this september. I had a bleach accident and they all lived, ALL
my eel i had him for a year and gave him to the pet store :happyfish but my other old fish is my dog faced puffer and is five months old and is awesome
I have a maroon clown that was given to me ,3 years ago. they said he was 2 yrs then(about), so I would say 5+ for him and the others range from 3years to 1year.
my imperotor adult is 6 years old
juvenile imp. is 3 years
my teria bat is 2 years
gold sripe maroon is 4 years
blue hippo is 6 years also
all my other fish I have had for about a year or so
I had a 16" Vlamingi just pasted away 6 months ago he was 8 years. This is the only fish I regret loosing he was like a dog I could pet him and he would eat out of my hand. Awsome fish. I am still on the look out 4 a replacement.

How sad is that, like lossing your bestfriend
My oldest is a tomato clown that I purchased shortly sfter establishing my first marine system....over five years ago. he now resides in a clients 90 gal bowfront.
I have a silver dollar in a freshwater tank that I got sometime in highschool, making him at least 10 years old.
I only got into salt about 2 years ago. My oldest fish is a sailfin that I've had for 2 years.
Powder Blue Tang 11 years
Naso tang 11 years
Clown Trigger 6.5 years
Emperor Angel 7 years
SFE 5.5 years
All are in a 125 and get along great. I had a lion in there for 7 years with them and was the size of a football, sold him last year he was getting too big and my hand could fit in his mouth so cleaning the tank was a little tricky....................
