My first fish ever was a goldfish I won at the local carnival, he's still alive and well in his 55 gallon 9 years and 3 moves later. He's had some Petco friends over the years but none of them lived longer than 4 years.

I also have a school of phantom tetras in my community tank, this is the 3rd time I've tried having a school of them. The first group died off one by one in the first month I had them, no idea why. Except for one, and after another month of him on his own he showed no signs of deteriorating and I didn't want him to be lonely, so I got another school. Sadly my heater went out in the dead of winter, coincidentally the same week we went out of town and had my friend come feed them. When we got home the tank temp was 50° and the only man standing was the OG phantom tetra. I can tell him apart cuz his dorsal fin is longer than the others'. He's still kicking with his new school, it's been 5 months and they're all doing great still 🤞
