I just recentally bought 3 goldfish and I wanted to know about how long my fish will live. That is if i feed them properly.

Comment #1 Y. Bear (200.172.107.20) -

"The oldest living Goldfish to date was a goldfish named Tish owned by Hilda and Gordon Hand of Thirsk, N. Yorkshire, England. Tish lived for 43 years after being won at a fairground in 1956.

Goldfish can have lifespans up to 20+ years if they are fed a varied diet and housed in exceptional water conditions. They need to be in tanks that are not overcrowded. They need sufficient swimming room and do best if they are kept with their own types."

Of course, if I am around and get hungry your gold fish may have a very short life span!

That is a great story. 43 years - Wow! The longest I have ever had goldfish for was about 14 years, and I did take very good care of them.

Comment #3 Courtney from Amarillo, Texas, USA!! -

If you take good care of the goldfish it can live a really long time. It is about consistency with your aquarium. Be sure to keep it clean and feed them properly. With goldfish I always made sure to have a filter in my aquarium because they are dirty. And remember one inch of fish per gallon. So if you have a five gallon tank, you can have up to 5 inches of fish (or probably 2-3 goldfish).

45 years?! wow i wonder if thats true. I thought it was only a few years on small fish. 45 years is longer then a cat or dog!

Comment #5 Jeanette from AZ -

Wow, that is a long time for that fish's lifespan!! The longest we ever had a goldfish was about a year. We woke up one morning and the poor thing was already floating.

Comment #6 James from Georgia on my mind -

At that rate mine might outlive me lol, but I wouls never get one from the fair. 2 yrs ago my daughter won one and it had a disease and killed all her fish. she was devestated. I have 2 feeder goldfish that got smart and hid from my turtle and now they are HUGE. I might need to put a pond outside for them

Comment #7 Goldie from Wisconsin -

That is a long time for a fish! Mine dont seem to live longer than 1 year!! I'm not very good and keeping the tank clean.

Comment #8 renee (203.109.239.12) -

Comment #10 cal orey (207.200.116.137) -

Hello Fish Fans,

I had two beautiful and hardy goldfish, Romeo and Juliet. Yes, literary names. They befriended my cat black Kerouac (who became their furry friend and put his face up to the aquarium daily, and lived more than five yrs.

During the recent Angora Fire at South Lake Tahoe, I chose to evacuate. My neighbor (preparing to flee)rescued my two beloved fish. Three days later: One fish died. She told me the other one -- looked sluggish. Two days later: I got a report my fish was doing very well. I brought her home and she was happy but I sensed lonely. So, I got two new fish...Everyone was swimming, healthy, and content until...

Last night when I cleaned their home...Juliet passed this AM. The two other fish, Angora and Oliver are doing fine. I am heartbroken by this Shakespearean-type tragedy. I am sensing that Juliet was strong but lonely and longed for her long-time swimming companion.

Comment #12 luke (90.199.22.160) -

Comment #14 jaz (217.33.74.20) -

Comment #15 Nicole (24.197.194.232) -

Comment #16 luke (90.199.22.223) -

Comment #17 tanya (69.112.122.101) -

Comment #18 natalie (62.31.204.118) -

I WON TWO FISH FROM THE FAIR! ONE LASTED 2 DAYS THE OTHER 2 WEEKS IM SO ANGRY

Comment #19 Isabelle Smith (72.241.116.128) -

My goldfish has lived up to 2 years now, my family named him Bob. I think it's appropriate; a dull name for a dull fish! Even though his fish bowl is a hastle to clean, he'll always be my little fat fish and I love him! I never want him to die!

Comment #20 fish (203.87.203.202) -

what is the average life span of a fish?

Comment #21 claire and grace (99.189.134.145) -

we had a fish that lived for 4 years and just died, we are now getting more...we hope they dont die. Is it true that goldfish grow with their cage size? The fish that just died, Bubbles, was very large, but had a small enclosure.

Comment #22 jimbob (99.189.134.145) -

once i had a fish his name was rockey. END OF STORY

Comment #23 megan (99.189.134.145) -

I just gave my sister my goldfish, and she bought another goldfish to put with him. This fish, named Tiger, is larger than Snapple (my fish) and is from a foreign tank. Is there any way the goldfish could be harmful to each other?

Comment #24 fish lover (72.58.77.170) -
