My kids are becoming more interested in fishkeeping (the are 3, 4 and6 years old). My mom and dad live only 30 minutes from home and 5 minutes from where I work. They are both retired so my kids get to spend at least a few days a month there, more if they are on school break. So my mom got a bowl for a goldfish. Despite my urgings about how wrong that is, she is stubborn, and just tells me "well you had a goldfish bowl when you were that age." That's not the point of the post though. She got this feeder goldfish for $0.25 at walmart. Has had it in a bowl for 2 months. I had never seen it, but my brother (also a fishkeeper) sent me this picture yesterday. Has to be one of the coolest looking feeder goldfish I have ever seen, check it out....

:nilly:

Notice by the pic he is a proper tank now. 10g QT tank. Although my brothers only FW tank right now is a 40ish gallon bowfront with a mix of tangs and south americans. My brother is not what we would call a "good" fishkeeper, but I know he will take better care of it than a bowl.
