my pet goldfish

My pet goldfish Bob amazes me.
I won him at a fair 1 year ago and he's still with us.

He was looking a little poorly during the winter, started losing some scales.
But now he's a picture of health.
(Although a part of me is convinced my boyfriend has replaced him and just not told me).

Forever darting around his tank, he's one happy chappy

A year is good for a goldfish

I thought so too, especially as it came from a fair.
Normally they don't last a few weeks.

One of my goldfish is approaching ten years old

His name is Hitler (he has a mostache when i got him but it wore off, think it was just dirt lol)

Do excuse the name I got him when i was like 13

10 years old?? WOW that is impressive.
Just goes to show what a good owner you are

Congratulations. Twelve months is good going, you should be proud of little Bob.

They still do that at fairs then? Thought they banded it.

Well, he is doing ok for it then. I keep tropical myself

Or how difficult it is to kill Hitler..

na seriously tho I think some goldfish are hardier than others. You're on to a good one there with Bob, he may just be with you for a very long time lol

Well I'd certainly be happy if he is.

Yes it was a local fair in my home town. I am a sucker for animals, even though giving Bob a good home was a small feat
