Why you shouldn’t put goldfish in a bowl – WTF fun facts

people think goldfish have short lifespans because of this
With proper care, a goldfish can live nearly 30 years. Put them in a bowl and you’re slowly choking them to death in their own piss and shit

Same with Beta fish! Please give them more than a gallon!

My nana’s goldfish in her pond are 20+ yrs old

I just recently lost one at almost 10, and that was premature. They will definitely live to 20 or older with good care, and never totally stop growing.

why is the captive lifespan like half of the wild

It’s not really. No clue where the source fluff piece got that. If anything, you would think it might go the other way with steady access to food, protection from predators, etc.

From having had frogs and such – likely the average lifespan is based on average care, with spaces that are too small and inadequate water filtration.

I was thinking that, but then it was phrased as “with proper care” :/ That’s the best explanation I can think of, though.
