So how old/how long have you had your oldest fish and what is it?

My tank bred clownfish Samson has been with me through 3 jobs (office tank in each) and is my most consistent coworker. The kids may call him Nemo but he doesn't seem to mind. He survived my first tank 30xh before moving to my 24 Nano, he was acquired in 2007 as a baby nano clown making him 7 years young. He is followed by my yellow watchman 2 years and six line wrasse 1 year.

When I had my 150 setup for 5 years, I had the same Clown Trigger the entire time.
