I was just checking my records and noticed my Lemonpeel angel is over
11 years old. Pretty good, I'd say. He's spent all his life in the
same 55 gallon tank with no skimmer or filtration. Took off the Bak-
Pak skimmer over 8 years ago and never looked back. Just live rock and
lots of powerheads. Normal output lighting only. Mushrooms and GSP's
taking over the tank. Tankmates include a blenny, coral bannded
shrimp, and a yellow tailed damsel, though they are all only 5 years
old. Can't get a more basic tank than that.

i bought a used 125g tank with a cinnemon clown in 1993. the previous
owner
had the tank/clown for 7 years before i got it, and i still have both.

Marine fish seem to live much longer than some freshwater fish
we used to see in freshwater tanks...
Mine fishtank is not that old, I set up my reef in 2002, but I have
also not lost a single fish from the first buy: 2 maroon clowns
(breeding regularly now), hepatus tang, royal gramma.
Lots of bubble tip anemones, overgrowing the tank volume...
I also have 2 maroon clowns in the other tank grown from the
other pair's fry. And the young also breed (between brother & sister!!!).

That is an old clown. You must be doing something right.
I just feed mine flake 90% of the time.

I think you should feed him some mixed frozen food like krill,
mysids, etc. Flakes every day might not be giving him all nutrition.
