LONDON - He spent his life going around in circles, but still achieved international fame. Tish, the world‘s oldest known captive goldfish, has died at the age of (at least) 43. First won by seven-year-old Peter Hand at a fairground in 1956, Tish the fish grew to four and one-half inches (12 cm) and outlived all Peter‘s other pets. When Peter grew up Tish moved in with his parents, Hilda and Gordon Hand, in their retirement home in Yorkshire, England. Last year Tish, having acquired a distinguished silver colour, was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the world‘s oldest captive goldfish. Hilda Hand found him dead at the bottom of his fish tank earlier this week. „I am very sad …Over the years we have become very close and I could sense if he was happy or not,“ she said.
