The bristle-nose pleco is currently the oldest; I'm not really sure exactly how 
old he is. I got him from a friend about 8 years ago when she converted her 150 
gal tank to salt water. She may have had him for three or four years before 
that. The upside down catfish that I mentioned had recently passed came from 
the same friend; I think he was older than the pleco. She also gave me an old 
beat-up albino cory cat (it's fins had been nipped by other fish). She told me 
it was over ten years old at the time. It lived in my tank for another 4 or 5 
years.

My rainbow shark is 8 or nine years old. I bought him with three others, and he 
has outlasted all the others. He spends most of his time hiding in a ceramic 
boat; that's probably why he's lasted so long.
