Any Challenger For Bruce?

[chochiss]

A giant goldfish which has clinched a place in the Guinness Book of Records is about to take up ambassadorial duties, his Hong Kong breeder has said.

Bruce, who at 40 cms (15.7 inches) has been recognised by Guinness as the world's longest goldfish, is likely to be moved from his home in southern China to a Hong Kong aquarium and then be put on display elsewhere in the world.

Showing off the Guinness certificate, breeder Jackie Chan said the fish -- as big as a domestic cat -- has grown more since his statistics were first lodged with the world's record keepers.

Ornamental fish enthusiasts in Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore have been clamouring to exhibit Bruce since flaming orange bundle of muscle first shot to fame in January.

Goldfish are believed to have originated in China, where records dating back to 300 A.D. contain references to them. The Chinese in particular prize the brightly coloured fish as a symbol of wealth and abundance.

Goldfish breeding later spread to Japan around 1500 and then to Britain, Portugal, France and the Netherlands in the 18th century with the flourishing of international trade.

- Anybody have a similar fish with the stated size? Do share ya......

i wonder if the goldfish works out at the gym.

Actually to achieve this size, Bruce have to work out everyday plus he's being fed with a specific healthy diet to grow such an astonishing figure. He's healthy & really big.
