Just curious.... How long do they live for?

Lol a bit random

If you get them from a fairground - usually about 10 mins

But if you really want a serious answer....

*does a simple wikipedia lookup that any fool could do*

"In optimal conditions, goldfish may live more than 20 years, but most household goldfish generally live only six to eight years, due to being kept in bowls. The oldest recorded goldfish lived to 49 years."

Well we bought 2 goldfish for my brother at xmas in 2006, when we went on holiday last year, we had this feeding thing which was meant to feed them gradually over the 2 week period... It didn't it failed, so when we got back there was just one goldfish left, the smallest of the two - the female, was no more - it had been eaten ...

The big one is still going though

Lovely

I think its a pretty fishy tail tbh.



Well thats what was left of it mwhaha...

*groans*

Thinking of getting one lfc_lad?

i have personally had gold fish for the last 15 years but they have been put in an outdoor pond all depends what you going to do with it whether you wanna put it in a tank or outside some of my goldfish are as big as some of my smaller kois

Get a shark, they live longer.

I thought about getting a whale?

No, The girlfriend has two. And was asking me how long they lived for. We've had them for about 4 months now.. Just in a basic tank..



Thats mental, 49 years!

2 fish in a tank, the first fish turns to the second fish and asks "how do you drive this thing??

Thankyou and goodnight

Im prob just very sad but that is hilarious lol

haha.


while on the subject of fish jokes.......


What do you call a big fish who makes you an offer you can't refuse ?


Also, Do fish clean themselves? =/

I heard they shower twice a week!

Yeah, anymore than that they are at risk of drowning.

you guys are all nuts

anyway get a squid for a pet

heaps of legs and they are delicious

i bought 9 fish and seven died in a day, apparently you shouldnt buy too many in one go,

however wen i was younger fowler & rushy lol theylasted for at least a year.

keep ya tank clean for best results, pmsl

We won a goldfish at a fairground when i was about 4 or 5 years old. Plus it only had one eye so my parents thought it would proberbly die next day.

It is still alive now in a small square tank in my dining room on it's own. And now i'm 20 so it's at least 15 or 16 years old now and it's been in the same tank it's whole life.

The key is not too overfeed them and to keep them on there own or in small numbers.

I eventually called my goldfish Fred West because he killed every single fish we tried to put in with him.

A mate of mine his dad used to collect tropical fish and had about £3000 worth of fish my mates sister turns around to him and says feed the fish , cornflakes and milk in the tank sadly all of them died his dad went absolutly mental lol good job he was only like 8 at the time lol

i was gonnna say your parents probably changed it to save you the trauma as a kid

but they would of had to play alot of hook the duck to find a fish with 1 eye,
