Goldfish Longevity:
Goldfish have been known to live into their 30's at least. Life expectancies from 10-20 years are normal for well cared for fish. The oldest captive goldfish on record was Tish who is in the isp Guiness Book of World Records. His owner, Peter Hand of England, won him at the fair in 1956. Tish died the first week of August, 1999 so he was at least 43 years old (probably 44 since most carnival goldfish are about 4 months to a year old)with organic backup. Tish only grew to 4.5 inches long and was silver. Since 4.5 inches is not that long, either Tish was stunted (he spent many years in small bowls before moving into a tank), or he was a fancy variety of goldfish. Peter Hand's mother, Hilda Hand, said after Tish's death, "I am very sad....Over the years we have become very close and I could sense if he was happy or not." with his file recovery The oldest living goldfish is also in England. As of 2003, "Goldie" is also 43 years old and will be in the next edition of Guinness.  gold fish life span :they can live up to 7 years or longer depending on proper care.
