A friend of mine in junior high school moved, and his folks made him give away his goldfish. So they became my goldfish.
I used to feed them by hand, and they got very tame. They’d let me pick them up and put them in the sink when I had to clean their tank.
I miss their company, now that I’m old enough to appreciate it.
Al of God’s creatures, even the simplest, still reveal something about our creator. Goldfish are not expensive, or hard to come by, but they are still beautiful and graceful. Obviously, as simple as a fish’s life may be, they still can learn, and adapt to humans.
I’ve never had an aquarium, but others in my family have had them at times, and it’s fascinating how some fish would try to follow anyone who walked by their tank, and sometimes I got the feeling that it was the fish who were watching the humans, and not the other way around.
Yeah, I remember that. Both of my sons had big aquariums when they were young, and they several different kinds of creatures in them. They attracted a lot of attention from a lot of people, and they were fun to watch.
