To set up the family trust, transfer the property and shares, change the mortgage and set up their gifting programme, the cost will be around $3,130, plus disbursements and other costs. The ongoing fees will be around $220 a year to cover the annual meeting and $150 a year to cover the gifting requirements.
Even at the same age, they vary a lot in length. They grow rapidly during the first year, but the growth rate varies a lot even for fish from the same spawn, so the size of year old goldfish varies widely. Almost all of the goldfish you see in the big box pet stores are well under a year in age.
Goldfish are actually very complex creatures. Amazingly, they can reach lengths of 12 or more inches and live 10 to 20 years. The oldest goldfish on record was over 40 years! Goldfish are among the hardiest of fish, and can survive through the worst of conditions. They are perfectly adapted to life in a pond, just like their wild carp ancestors.
