My girlfriend says her goldfish is 20 years old I keep telling her thats not possible whos right2007-11-24 23:38:30Answers:

She probably is.

"Fact: 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."

Congratulations to your girlfriend, if she's telling the truth!!

Goldfish can live a long and healthy life if cared for properly. Feeder goldfish have been known to be purchased from pet stores to begin the bacteria process for a newly setup tank; however, they survive and grow to be nice looking fish. I have seen many feeders turn into some of the nicest, longest living goldfish yet.
