Zoolander Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 After 7 years in my possession, multiple tank crashes, 3 cities and 3 tanks, the old man has finally started showing his age. I don't think he'll live more than a couple of weeks now as he's just swimming around the tank with no clue where anything is instead of staying put on the bottom but 7 years seems like a really long time for a goby. I am hoping spot feeding will help but am worried he'll jump before old age gets him. He's definitely blind, too. He's also definitely met every powerhead in the tank more than once. Why are old people so stubborn, lol. What's your oldest fish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas503 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm sorry that sucks. That's awesome he survived that long though. Great job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Wow, what an old salty dog of a goby... Congrats on a long healthy life and bummer for the end here! My oldest fish? I have some clowns going on 5 years old or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Sounds like a tough old dude. Rough way to go out but at least he had a good run. I can't think of any of mine that lasted that long but then some left in tank tear downs as opposed to more permanent routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanuki Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I thought they were all blind the way they dump sand all over your corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
