RIP my flame fins Tomoni tang

[dz6t]

My old flame-fin Tomini tang passed away today. I had him for 15 years and when I got him from a previous reefer, he was 5 to 6 years old already. So he lived a full life of 20+ years.
Always ate like a pig even last night.
RIP.

Sorry for your loss! Never easy to lose a fist that you had that long!

Yes. It was sad to see him gone. But he did lived a long life. He just laid on the ground and passed away, the body was fully intact.

Sorry, about your fish. I know how it feels. To lose a fish that been in your hand for many years.

Sorry to hear that. Was it your oldest fish?
I wonder who out there has the oldest fish. I have a clown fish that is at least 25 years old.

 

[dz6t]

It is one of my oldest fish.
I had a blue Hippo tang that lived for 24 years. (7 years with the previous owner and 17 years with me).
A purple tang that lived for 15 years with me but he was with his previous owner for 6 years for a total of 21 years.
A clownfish that is 20+ years old and still alive and kicking, but her mate passed away a few years back.
Many of the fish I currently have are over 15 years old.

Some people would say "It's just a fish," but we know how it feels to lose one. Sorry to hear it passed.

Man, sorry to hear that Dong. It's funny how they become family after a while. Sorry you lost it, but I'm 100% positive it was expertly cared for and lived every single day it was supposed to.
