Tucked deep inside the Aquarium, amidst the massive reef exhibits giving a peek into life under the sea, there is an unassuming tank, with a very special fish inside.
"I would suspect that that fish is maybe like, 10 years old, guessed Steinhart visitor Fiera Clark. "20? Is it 40? Seriously? What about like 60? There's no way that that fish lives that long!" That would make Methuselah the oldest fish currently under human care. The new data on Methuselah's age is adding to scientists understanding of the Australian Lungfish.
