Boil the eggs. The method you use to boil your eggs can have a significant impact on how easily you'll be able to peel them. Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.There should be about two inches of water over the top of the eggs. Add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to the water, then bring the pan to a gentle simmer and cook for approximately 12 minutes. Fresh eggs will be harder to peel than slightly older eggs, as the air pocket at the wide end of the egg is smaller in fresh eggs. 2  For this reason, you should avoid boiling freshly laid eggs, whenever possible. 3  Go for 3-5 day old eggs instead.
The average life span of a pet goldfish is five to 10 years. In the wild, they can live as long as 25 years. In fact, the oldest goldfish ever recorded was 43 years old. But prolonging the life of your fish depends on proper care and tank environment.
Put another way, the common goldfish lifespan is usually between 10 and 20 years, while the fancy or exotic goldfish lifespan is generally on the order of 8 to 10 years.This assumes that the fish live in a healthy environment, and are well cared for.The environment is really quite important.oldfish do better in a large aquarium, where a lifespan of 10 years is not uncommon. Goldfish living in outdoor ponds often live twice that long, especially when adequately protected form predators such as cats and raccoons.
