Do I have a world record with my fish?

I have had a pet goldfish for 8 years now, is that a record? He went through 7 days without food because of a hurricane e-vac, and was shockingly found alive. The thing is, we bought him a wal-mart! :d

Answer #1

We had two who had to have been10 or 11 years…I kept thinking they needed a bigger tank (stupid me, didn’t know that they grow according to the tank size, not vice versa)…LOL…We got them from hubby’s grandma who’d had them for 6 years, and we had them for 4 or 5 years…

But yours is getting darn close to a “record”…and he’s probably the only goldfish who lived thru a hurracane!!! :)
