Re: And how many people realise goldfish can easily live to 20+ years if looked after?
Only those who realise that a goldfish needs a LOT of space - we have 2 in a 150L tank - filthy buggers - goldfish need water changed more often than most other aquarium dwellers.
And the damn things keep destroying the plants, even if we feed them regularly.
However they do keep the snail population down :D
Goldfish are dead when they are floating upside down at the top of the beer glass.
