Yes. In fact, I believe it was yesterday that the first fish ever to be treated successfully with chemotherapy at Camden's aquarium passed away after seven years. Hang on, I'll see if I can find you a link.
Ok, I stand corrected. His name was Bubba the Grouper, and he was at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium. He did, indeed, pass on yesterday.

With all of the fluoride, chlorine, benzates, and whatever else is added to water these days, I wouldn't be too worried about the $3 fish that you buy to put in your fish tank. They may very well get cancer.
I have one angelfish left in my 20 gal. tank, and it's 7 years old. Why can this one fish live 7 years, yet the rest die? I don't know. One species of fish has a longer life expectancy that another. I do the best that I can to make sure if that if I buy a new fish, that it will get along with the community, and that it's transition from one body of water to another isn't too traumatic.
