Pleasing 4 Pets

The 43 year old goldfish Tish, who features in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest goldfish in the world finally died a few weeks ago.

Tish came from a questionable background when he was won by the young Peter Hand when he was a teenager from a roll-a-penny stall at a travelling fair visiting Doncaster in South Yorkshire 43 years ago.73 year old Mrs Hilda Hand, the mother of Peter has been looking after Tish ever since.

Tish had changed from his original deep golden colour to very light silver over the years. Most of his life had been spent in a standard round goldfish bowl although he did have a bit of a habit in attempting to jump out of his bowl so Mrs Hand had decided to move him into a larger swankier tank.

Tish outlived ever other pet in the Hand family household including; hamsters, dogs and guinea pigs.

Hilda Hand feels that Tish’s long life was down to good care:

“I think a mistake a lot of children make is to over feed their goldfish and put them in the sun. Tish was fed the same brand of fish food every day and we kept him in the shade. We changed his water regularly and always used a net to take him out and not our hands. “I don’t think we will be getting another one, we couldn’t replace Tish, and he was part of the family. People always used to ask how Tish was doing.”
