I’m sad to announce the death of my ancient angelfish. Like the plecostomus I lost last fall, I don’t know exactly how old she was. Her tank was moved from our bedroom to the kitchen a number of years ago and I’d already had her for several years at that point. I’m guessing she was at least 12, if not older.
Odd to think that I was thirty-something when I got her (I’m 50 now). The photo I’ve provided is poor, but you can see that over her life she sustained some damage to her fins. She was a very aggressive fish and never played well with others. I finally learned to keep her in a tank alone. It was fun how she would follow your finger around when placed against the tank. Wanting to attack it, I'm sure, but it made her more "personable".
I’ll miss her.

Kelly, I have never, ever heard of a fish living that long!!! Wow, I'm amazed! I'm so sorry she died. I know you'll miss her. (((HUGS)))
I never had much luck with fish. 12 years? I am in awe.
Oh NO!!!!!! I'm sooooooo sorry to hear this!
The oldest fishies in my tank are about 4 (can't remember exactly how long ago the boys got MY fish).
Still have one original Goldie in her tank, a cory cat, a tetra and one other tropical I've had from the beginning.
I know how you feel. I mourn the loss of any of my silver mollys. I did the same with my gouramis.
I lost the Molly that gave birth to the babies of which 3 survived. I lost one of them and one of the 2 remaining babies is ailing.
Here's to your Angel!!! So sorry to hear she died. :(
Ji Jang Bosal, so sorry.
