Kuldkala Splash, kel vanust 38 eluaastat on oma krooni kaotanud kaladele Fred ja George, kes on samas akvaariumis ujunud 40 aastat.

Kalakesed Fred ja George, kelle peremeesteks Keith ja Mary Allies räägivad, et kalad tulid nende juurde aastal 1975, kui Keith võitis laadal võistluse, vahendab mirror.co.uk.

Keith Allies räägib, et kalad on küll eakad, ent elurõõmsad ja väsimise märke ei ilmuta. «Nad on mu parimad sõbrad ja ma olen nii õnnelik, et nad vanima kala tiitli endale said,» räägib mees.

Mary Allies tunnistab, et kalad on nende jaoks nagu perekond, nad on energilised ja toreda iseloomuga. «Me ei osanud arvata, et nad nii kaua elavad, ennustasime neile vaid paar kuud,» sõnab naine.

Tavaliselt elavad kuldkalad 10-aastaseks, ent Fred ja George on vanuselt ületanud isegi perekonnas elanud kaks koera.
