My clown pleco is officially seven years old , and the dino of the twenty gallon. Will she last much longer? What's the longest anyone elses fish has lasted? I hear clowns last for about 10. is that true?

10-12 years is the given lifespan for them, but some live to as old as 18.

Happy Birthday to your clown. Does she get some special birthday driftwood?

she got some driftwood, fresh algae chips, and a shrimp pellet. She's my good, non-demanding girl. She came with me on my move from Canada to the States last year, and started her "aquarium life" with me when I was six years old. We've been through alot together. She's my pride and joy
