One Goldfish to the other, "Bob I am fed up with that ugly twat being in here with us, go and tickle his nose with your fin, Lets see what happens when he sneezes"

Goldfish thrive on neglect. That tank looks way too clean

I had changed the water yesterday

That is correct. We used to change the water when we could no longer see the fish. Didn't do him any harm.

The main thing to remember is not to use water straight out of the tap. Rain water is best but tap water should only be used if it's boiled first (and allowed to cool!!) otherwise the fluoride kills the fish.

The ones at the bottom seem very shy and retiring, would they be Koi by any chance.

What a load of carp.

Boiled goldfish and chips for dinner?

We had a goldfish that one of the kids got from a fair that lived 11 years in spite of the cat doing its best to stick its paw in the goldfish bowl any opportunity it could get. It was almost white when it finally floated to the surface and stopped moving.

I can beat that, I had one which lived to be 21 years old, lost an eye and was renamed Nelson (for obvious reasons). Got me in the local rag, god I was a handsome chap

I may have overfed my pet goldfish.
