Splash is a bit of a relic (Picture: Caters)

This fish is a real old timer.

Meet Splash, he’s one of the oldest living goldfish in the entire world.

His owners, Richard and Ann Wright of Gloucestershire, are currently preparing for his 38th birthday.

Splash has lived through huge occasions like Prince Charles marrying Diana, the London 2012 Olympics and has seen six different prime ministers elected.


Of course, he won’t actually remember much due to his poor memory.

The Wrights won Splash at a funfair back in 1977, he used to co-habit with tank buddy Splish, but she died two years ago.
