BUT !!! This counts only for goldfish living (swimming) in a small aquarium .We have a large pond in our garden ; last year my daughter got a goldfish as a present , and instead of putting it into a glass bowl , she put it in the pond !
You should see that tiny fish now !! He (or she) has doubled in size and is as healthy as ..... yes , a fish !!!!!!! He found some fellow-goldfish there and has the time of his fishy life !!!!
I'm so envious, Lut! I want a fish pond so badly!! One day, I will do it, in the "front yard". I can just see my dogs going wading and fishing if it were in the back yard!!!
