1799. life in a bowl


eyes so big ๐Ÿ‘€ 
like the big bad wolf
the better to see

 



Gazing down into the fishbowl, that’s Finny (on the left) and Tipper. They go round and round and round, every now and then kissing the air. Life in a bowl. Yay! Yay! Do goldfish see in the dark, I wonder. Is that why their eyes are so big? Did you know that goldfish can live 10 to 15 years in a properly sized, rather large, filtered aquarium or pond?  In a small bowl, most goldfish live just six months, maybe more. Finny’s been living here 2 or 3 years in a 12-inch bowl. Now and then, he likes to just hang and float….sometimes belly up, sometimes tails up. He’s a happy fish. Go Finny!
