Weird, doesn't look much longer than most other fish to me.

Imagine new fish being added to the scarlet koi’s pond, looking over and saying “Hey another koi! What’s your name?”, only for the old koi to say “it doesn’t matter... You’ll be gone soon, just like the others...”

Sorry, she was born approximately 1751 and died 7 July 1977.
​
" Hanako (c. 1751 – 7 July 1977) was a scarlet koi fish owned by several individuals, the last of which being Dr. Komei Koshihara. She was reportedly 226 upon her death.[1][2][3][4] Her age was determined by removing one of her scales and examining it extensively in 1966. Once the scale was fully analyzed, it was said that she was 215. She is (to date) the longest-lived koi fish ever recorded.[1][5] "

Pretty sure there is a shark that has beaten that record. Some Greenland shark over 300 years old.
From 272 to 512 years actually.
Let’s cut it in half and count it’s rings
At least be original!
Was a post yesterday wasn't it?
It's a post almost everyday since it was a repost.
I've heard this as well.
There's one that's 500 years old. And there's a fish that lasts over2,000 years old
That shark isn’t living.

That shark is just existing.
Yeah the shark was posted earlier this week. This is neither interesting as fuck nor am I amazed. I can never remember what sub I’m on. Just a bunch of karma whores cross posting all day
Edit: I’m on “nature is lit” ....different place, same story
