Ya know it seems as old as some of these fish can get....they don't usually live that long ^^; lol
 
I had a betta for about 4 years..and he was about 1-2 years when I got him...freind had a betta that died at 9 years old...
I have 2 lamp eye's that are 3+ and a bolivian ram that is at least 1.5 +, ...
 
Koi can live up to 50+ years if cared for properly.. My dad has a koi pond with some koi,... some maybe 7 years old I think.
 
there is an article posted near the koi pond at my LFS telling about the world oldest koi. I beleive it lived to about 238 years old. I can't be certain though, all i can remeber was that it was over 200. I have had koi that lived three years, but they are jumpers :( i am done with koi now, now i am obsessed with fancy goldies for ponds.

Yep, thats it, thank you very much :D
 
My dad (and I, somewhat) kept a feeder-comet goldfish going for something like, 6 years was it? It was huge when it died... Probably 6 inches at least, even though that's half what they can potentially reach, I hadn't seen a common feeder ever get that big.
 
five 8 year old Clown Loaches
two Skirt Tetras 6 years old
a breading pair of Kribs 4 1/2 years old and still spawning
I had a Crowntail Betta (my aviator) for 4 1/2 years,I miss him
 
2 angels over 7 years, two more over 4. a school of glass cats, 6, i've had for 3 years
 
So far, I have an angel, two clown loaches, a clown pleco, a bala shark, and a bloodparrot going on 5 years now
 
When I was much younger, I had an horribly neglected angel that lived over 13 years.
