      That’s impressive! My childhood goldfish only lasted 4 years! They are quite resillient creatures however and can live a surprisingly long time in the right circumstances.

      Tish, the oldest goldfish recognized by the Guinness Book of Records, lived for 43 years!!!

      They are very resilient animals, I won one from a fair that lived for 10 years!
