What's the oldest fish you've kept?

Yesterday, I lost one of 9 red phantom tetras I purchased from Bev Newcomer at the last Aquafest held in Laurel. So, I'm guessing it was at least 7 years old. This week, I also lost a green neon tetra I purchased when I set up my planted 65 in 2007. Pretty good for a couple of fish fairly low on the food chain.

My oldest corydoras, a Corydoras duplicareus, is a solid decade old. I have several across several species that are 7 or 8 years old.

Our piranhas were at least 10 years old and we have a Raphael cat that's probably about 10 years, too. I've had the same school of white clouds since 2007 or 2008, but I'm not sure they're actually the same fish.
