Our gold fish that we've had for over a year just recently passed away. This fish was the funniest fish I've ever seen. I learned that gold fish have a air pocket in there bellies, well ours had a defective one. At first I thaught we were going to loose the poor fish soon after we brought it home, I got up one morning and it was floating belly up. Of course I started preparing the kids for what was going to happen letting them know fish are real touchy and don't live long, that maybe it had a medical problem when we got it. So each morning I got up expecting to see poor Flipper ( hubby named it, LOL) had left this world.

Well a month of this and I'm stumped, a couple days it was fine then it would start floating on top belly up, this went on for the rest of the fishes life. It was a great conversation starter when someone came over ( it was in a big gold fish bowl sitting on the kitchen table) and they would politly say " Um I think your fish is dead" to which I would chuckle and say " no it just needs to fart".

This was one tough fish, it survived being the cats water dish, living in a inch of green water until I finally cleaned the poor thing, LOL, and being bumb and sloshed every time someone sat down or got up from the table. I miss that fish, I miss it blooping at me thru the glass in the mornings as it would wait patiently for me to feed it.

Flipper you were a great fish!
