Deepening with Time. The "Aesthetics" Called Aging.

How long do you imagine a goldfish's lifespan to be? They are often thought of as fleeting lives that end in a few years, but in fact, they are very long-lived partners who can walk with us for 10 years, 15 years, and sometimes even longer.

Juane * here.Hello.

Today, I would like to talk about the "dignity" of goldfish that increases as they age, and the healthy aging that supports their beauty.

Loving the Change

The fresh and vivid colors and bouncing swimming of young fish are, of course, attractive.However, "adult fish" that have spent many years together begin to possess a unique dignity that they did not have when they were young.The thickness of each scale increases, and the colors become deeper and more profound.The fins grow long as if to gracefully accept the water flow, and a loose rhythm with no waste is born in that one swing.

I feel that it is not simply "aging", but the "time" accumulated in that place is appearing as the texture of life.

The Secret to Healthy Longevity is "Unchanging Daily Life"

Achieving a long relationship of over 10 years is by no means special.Maintaining appropriate daily water changes, a balanced diet, and above all, a "low-stress environment".

In particular, accumulating polite behavior that respects their living sphere and does not surprise them is directly linked to the "mental health" of goldfish.by continuing to protect a stable environment without disturbing their rhythm, they will show us a more beautiful and dignified appearance as a "response".

The Form of Quiet Trust Dwelling Deep in the Eyes

Goldfish that have been together for a long time observe our movements very well.When our eyes meet through the glass, they slowly come closer.There is a certain "trust" built up over many years, even if we do not touch them directly.

We don't exchange words, we don't touch hands.However, each other's existence naturally melts into daily life. Such a quiet and deep relationship may be the source of the gentle radiance emitted by mature goldfish.

The Joy of Aging Together

The beauty of goldfish is not only in looking at the completed product, but also in the process of walking through the changes together.What kind of scenery will they show us in 10 or 20 years ? We at Jun * Juane also hope to continue to carefully spin the preciousness of such "maturing life" through our lenses and words.

Average Lifespan and Records of Goldfish: If raised in an appropriate environment, the lifespan of a goldfish is generally about 10 to 15 years.Individuals that have lived for more than 40 years have been reported in the Guinness Records, and they are creatures with the potential to become extremely long - lived depending on the environment.

Physiological Changes Associated with Aging: As they age, morphological changes associated with maturity are seen, such as the development of wens(fleshy growths) in some varieties and further elongation of fins.These are deeply involved in the health condition of the individual and the maintenance of a stable environment for many years.

Stress and Lifespan: Physical contact(handling) for fish is a major stress factor that causes damage to the mucous membrane and a rapid increase in heart rate.It is biologically recognized that a breeding style that avoids unnecessary contact contributes significantly to the prevention of infectious diseases and longevity.
