Fishy Tale

Cor, wotta woppa! Britain's biggest goldfish isn't he a beauty!

We had a tiny little goldfish we won from a fair - it must have lasted about 10 years and just kept growning. We had to buy a few new tanks for it, and it just grew to fill the space! (It wasn't quite as bit as that one though ).

1ft 3" is huge for a goldfish

Goldfish do that, they will keep growing to the size of the tank. Didn't know they lasted so long though!! How long do tropical fish last?

In 1966 there was a carp alive in Japan that was 215 years old . The article is well worth a read .

I knew carp lived to a ripe old age but that is amazing .

That was a really fascinating read Abarbarian, what a good find she eventually reached the age of 226 years by the time of her death in 1977. How amazing is that

That's not a goldfish it's an Halibut wearing a cunning disguise.
