    I thought this thread was about age of discus (young/old), not aged old farts. J/K

    Might be the wrong place to ask, but has anyone had long-lived wild fish?

    Can you share pictures of those fish Harry ? I never seen such old Discus before. Would love to know how they look that old.

    Now are the fish that were alive when this thread first started still around today!?!

    When I was maybe 13 I got my first discus, he lived until I was 20, I couldn't sell him or even give him to a LFS, no one wanted a 7 year old discus... He looked like he had a few more years in him.

    That'd place them at 15 plus years... so I do doubt it. However, we could make this fun.... How about anyone that has a Discus that over 5 years old post a pic of it and tell how old it is. I would participate but I took a break a few years ago and none of my current crew of fish are more than a few years old that I can confirm.

    My first attempt at keeping Discus and I'm on year Three nearing Four I keep a video journal on YouTube so I'll have proof positive when mine get to be of a ripe old age. I try.....hard.
    I'm shooting for the record 15+.
    Ive gotten the very best tips from this Forum so Thanks.
    You can find my Tank by searching AquaWoman Discus on YouTube if you care to see my Fish that is.
