6-7 isn't very old for a goldfish that's kept well. I'd say you could see at least another 10 years out of him as long as he's pretty healthy
 
I think my first were 3 pacus about 10 years ago, had them in a 20 first when they were an inch long, they outgrew it in about a month so i got a 60 and then the got ick about a month later. Back then i had no idea what to do about it and they died :( but i learned a lot since then and now i have 11 tanks from 10 to 180 gallons:grinno:
 
My first fish were 2 RBP's when I was 14. I had them until I was 19 and joined the Marine Corps. My Mom was supposed to watch them until I got back from Japan. Well........... After I was over there for about 3 months Mom calls me one night and tells me that she forgot to feed them for a week and Itchy ate Scratchy. Then after I was over there about 6 months she called again to tell me that she forgot to turn the heater down when it got warm out and Itchy got cooked. Now I'm 37 and have 2 75 gallons, a 40 long, a 20 gallon and a 10 gallon.
 
My first fish was a red and purple crown tailed betta male.. That was so long ago, no pics but he was an awesome looking betta. This was before i was into keeping fish as a hobby.. Since i became an addict of the hobby my first was a tiny Green terror i had in a 30 gallon and relocated him into my 125 where he was just recently killed by my Tiger Oscar.:(
