Since being recruited as a prize at the festival in 1974, the pair of goldfish "George" and "Fred" have lived a peaceful life for more than four decades, even entitled "goldfish". the oldest in England ".

One day in 1974, young Keith Allies , still in his 30s, led an 18-year-old girlfriend - Mary - to hang out at a fair. Joining the prize-winning game at the fair, Keith won two goldfish named "George" and "Fred" as a romantic gift for his girlfriend.

Five years later, Keith and Mary shared a home in Worcester, England, to build a home together. Goldfish George and Fred also follow the couple's son.

George and Fred were "young".

Although the short life of goldfish lasted only an average of 10 years, Fred and George survived miraculously after the first 10 years, then the next 10 years, 10 more years, . To about 2 years ago, Fred died at the age of 42, leaving old friend George in the aquarium.

As time went on, on April 10, George finally died at the age of 44, after about a month of struggling with swimming. By the time of his permanent departure, George is said to be the oldest goldfish in the UK, many even saying that it is the oldest in the world.

After more than 40 years, Fred and George survived the magic .

. under the care of Mr. Keith and his wife.

"I cried a lot when George died. It was part of the whole family," said Mary, now 62,. "Lately, it has been difficult to swim; since Fred's death, it has not been as healthy as it used to be. Initially, no one thought that they lived for a few years, let alone over 40 years old."

Seeing Fred and George (one on the left, one on the right?!?) Were as strong as in the picture, who would have thought they were over 40?

As for retired engineer Keith, now 75 years old, he said: "They are always as healthy as when they were brought back from the fair. It's unbelievable, but I'm also happy for them; Fred and George is my best friend.What is the secret of raising goldfish for a long time? You just pour the tap water into the fish tank for them, feed the fish regularly and disturb them regularly so that the goldfish is active. It's fine ".
