How long will my gold-fish live ?

I got a gold fish yesterday and I was thinking how long it would live. I feed it twice a day and give it light. But do you no how long it will live

Answer #1

I’m a goldfish :)

Answer #2

gold fish dont live very long so it will probably die soon…good news is that theyre only like a dollar at the pet stores because theyre just food for the other fishes and goldfish only have like a three second memory so it wont remember dying…to bad you dont have a three second memory so that you could forget that your goldfish just died:)

Answer #3

PS: The 3-second memory thing is a complete urban legend. Goldfish have just as much learning ability as any other fish (which is quite a bit, as it turns out).

Answer #4

I ‘inherited’ two gold fish that were about 13 years old when I got them…I had them for 10 years when I gave them to our daughter…she still has them now…5 years later.

They live a LONG time.

Answer #5

well thanks all and the second one was funny lol

Answer #6

From the WIki ‘’goldfish’’ page:

In optimal conditions, goldfish may live more than 40 years; however, most household goldfish generally live six to eight years.

(Can I just say how much I love living in an age where a Wiki ‘’goldfish’’ page even exists? You kids, you don’t know how good you have it.)

Answer #7

I’ve been alive for twelve years. I hope I don’t die soon…

Answer #8

nice to no
