What is the longest you have kept a fish and how big did the fish get?

[fishoholic]

I know some SW fish can live for years and get quite big over time, so I'm curious as to what is the longest time anyone has kept a fish for and how big did the fish get, and what type of fish it is/was.

As a teenager, I had a juvenile Synodontis Angelicus that lived for 12 yrs and only died because of holiday-tank-itus ie. relatives looking after my fish tank making big mistakes

He was about 2 inches when I got him & grew to over 8 inches.

I had a yellow tailed damsel for nearly 13 years. Needless to say, it didn't get very big.

Had a Texas Cichlid for almost 6yrs. He went from 1" to 6"+ and bit me several times...My saltwater is only 7mo old.

I had a Coral Beauty for 6 years, and currently have had a Flame Angel for 6 years. Both of them I got at aournd 2 inches, and never seemed to grow. My Bicolor Angel is about 5 years old, and is slightly larger, and has never seemed to grow either.

I caught my white seabream ( Sparidae - Acanthopagrus australis ) which was only finger nail sized 3 years ago, now it grows up to 10" in length
