I actually have an obsession with goldfish, particularly mine, as well. I hate to be one of those people who always brings this up, but isn't that tank to small for them? I have three full-grown goldfish in a 36 gal... and it has been really pushing it. I am thinking about upgrading. Where that money will come from I have no clue. Your water looks clear, and your fish look happy, so if you don't feel that they are cramped then I guess don't worry. I love your writing, and I really agree.

I always look for the meaning in everything, so I really enjoyed your writing. I have recently read that by watching the movements os a goldfish have a calming effect. I am a proud owner of 2 goldfish! Both are babies and definitely keepers. Thank you for your blog and keep sharing those touching thoughts. Hi Karen!

Thanks for sharing! Now I'm thinking of getting my 3 year old twins goldfish! But judging by how they've been treating the chicks they have, I doubt they'll learn much from having fish (apart from the fact they don't survive out of water :P) This is a beautiful post. Thanks for sharing!

That makes me so happy. Now, go back to the homepage, and type your little emal address into the subscribe box to subscribe. Dooo it. Do it now. I post lots of pretty pictures so that people like you get something out of my posts too, despite all those annoying words. Boris (the Plecostomus) is actually poop neutral. I like him just because the phrase "poop neutral" makes me happy, although I do resent him on a continual basis because he was meant to replace my two original OG goldfish. He just got the name Boris, because when he talks in my head, he has an old man's Russian accent. Something about the whiskers does it for me. :) You commented?!?!?! That makes me so happy.

I liked it a lot too... I didn't even realize how much my little fishys teach me, until I sat down and started writing. :) The big pond thing is an interesting thing to ponder.... I constantly feel like I'm not in a big enough pond, and it seems like the cowardly thing to do. But, it is a lot easier. So glad you liked this one!

I especially enjoyed the part about a big tank....which is something I need to practice in life. I tend to keep to my fish bowl and my fellow goldfish rather than risk the big pond. I really enjoyed the goldfish analogy, it's always amazing the things that you can learn from the everyday surroundings in your life. Also goldfish are awesome! :-) I liked this one!

I didn't read all those word things on the page but the pictures are great! J/K So my question is how would you relate a life parraleling lesson to the Plecostomus(algae eater)?? Most people think that they keep the tank clean because they eat the algae, while in fact for every thing the eat they have an equal amount of waste! Great post. That tank looks amazing!

No, kidding. Especially ferrets. I used to have a few of those for a short time, and they were definitely the worst in that department. Ha! No, kidding. Especially ferrets.
