Yeah. Connor could get him to lay completely still on his side to pet him and then he taught him to push a ping pong ball through a floating hoop. My son has lots of free time.

When I was a kid, we used to have a tank with two goldfish. I named one, my mum named the other. I went through about 6 fish, whilst she still had her original one.
I'm not allowed to name fish anymore. Unless I want to kill them.
Which I don't.
Unless they're bastards.

Leroy tried to kill us one night by pushing his heater up through the lid, causing it to set sideways on top of the lid, causing it to catch on fire. How does one punish a fish??? We kept his light off for a couple of days.
Towering Inferno fish.
We used to have some tiny pygmy-like crabs in our fish tank, and they'd make a bid for escape every night.

Tell them really interesting facts & then rub in the fact that they'll forget it shortly.

Leroy was certainly big enough for filleting. He was over 10" long by 5" high.

Could be my finest BCG moment. In fact my finest moment anywhere. I was proud of my third place in a fancy dress contest when I was ten though
What did you go as?

Goldfish are Carp and I'm told Carp is nice to eat.
I think I ate Carp once at a posh Chinese resturant.

Leroy was an Oscar, a cousin to the piranha. I live in a large freshwater fishing area and most people throw carp back in after catching them.

Fishkill??
Don't rub it in!

Fishkill's roughly 300 miles away. I've been there a few times. You end up kind of driving horizontally across the state.
