[QUOTE=Killerhurtz;18132642]To me, it looks more like a common carp than a goldfish. Carps are also known to become huge and live for long, sometimes as much as 40 years (if they're not killed beforehand).[/QUOTE]
You're right, the OP obviously doesn't know what kind of fish he's been owning for circa 20 years.

Now that you say that it does look a lot like a carp.
If you would like I can post this fish on a fishkeeping forum and have it Identified properly.

"The Discovery Channel's popular show Mythbusters tested the contemporary legend that goldfish only had a memory span of 3 seconds and were able to prove that goldfish had a longer memory span than commonly believed. The experiment involved training the fish to navigate a maze. It was evident that they were able to remember the correct path of the maze after more than a month."
Well I'll be damned.
Have you ever considered getting him a bigger tank? He's a gorgeous fish, he deserves a bigger home to swim in.

You will what? WHAT WILL YOU DO TO HIM!?
[QUOTE=MasterFen007;31486750]You will what? WHAT WILL YOU DO TO HIM!?[/QUOTE]
oh god, we will MISS that little mutant.
Poor little thing, he had a good life I guess.
Well he lived for what, 22 years? He must've had a good life.
Oh god, I remember this thread. The little yellow stone(?) fish looked absolutely terrified.
Did you give him a decent burial, or was it the traditional Flush to Oblivion?
Give him a viking boat funeral. It is only befitting for such an ancient.

Fuck man, that fish seemed like a bro :(

Wow, a fish 22 years old. Thats very odd. Im sorry he's gone.
that's like my dick swimming around in a tank, except my dick isn't white, which explains why I could even compare it to a giant goldfish.
Good night sweet prince...

I remember this thread! How large was he when he passed aways?
Fun. I just bought 4 Goldfish and put them in our gardenpond. They got significantly fatter from eating all the moscito larvae.

It's good you put them in a pond. Goldfish are big and produce a lot of waste. IMO they should never be kept in a tank smaller than 10 gallons (20 gallons is more ideal really)
Does your pond have a filter?

The thread was bumped. May as well reply to something I feel like replying to even if the person who posted it doesn't see it. It might provoke thought in others still.
