Reuters story of the year: "Tish, the world's oldest known captive goldfish, has died at the age of (at least) 43. First won by 7-year-old Peter Hand at a fairground in 1956, Tish the fish grew to 4 1/2 inches and outlived all of 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 color, was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's oldest captive goldfish. Mrs. Hand found him dead at the bottom of his fish tank late last week."
