Going away for a long period?

How scary is this article on news24 - goldfish in New Zealand that survived for 134 days without food!

All I can say id that the rest of the "gang" didnt make it...nom,nom,nom...

 

"And three companion goldfish disappeared without any trace."

Now where whould they have gone. cannibalism lol....

Interesting story tho

 

If any of you have ever watched another fish being eated... it woulda been gone in 2 days. So theoretically the goldfish still would have gone 132 days without food... of 128 days at worst case if the fish dies one by one

 

So moral of the story is to keep a couple of weak fish and a couple of "strongish" fish that will survive a week or two, then act as a midway snack? Nom, nom, nom...
