Mine was named Goldie too. Goldie finally died last summer at the rip old age of 11 and at about 15" long. You got lucky. It had grown so big at one point that it could only swim forward a bit, then backward a bit in our 10 gallon tank. My parents actually bought a bigger tank for it! And when it died, she put it in the freezer so I could say goodbye to it when I came home at Christmas! I said "that's ok, please just bury it."

At the time, she had twin 1 year old brothers. I almost shot him. Same reason as you stated. Who was going to end up looking after the fool thing? My husband who was 40 going on 6? Or the kids? It certainly wouldn't be me. I'm getting her an iguana as a moving out present in another 9 years. If she still wants on that is.

Upon return, my sister and I made a beeline for the girls, and well, we immediately knew they were different. Then proceded to argue over naming them, we settled upon Susan 2 and Linda 2. We did not shed a tear over their death, my sister did over me not letting HER choose the name, but not the fish. My grandmother was suprised and a little relived. But I think she was a bit bugged that she had gone to so much effort to find identical matches. Years later she told us that after many days of over feeding she walked into find 'em floating. She took their dead bodies over to the pet store to find the closest match. She was very picky and the clerk was frustrated by her, and had even told her that we would know no matter what.<BR/><BR/>GinaWeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308770400870961664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1146669122032871152006-05-03T11:12:00.000-04:002006-05-03T11:12:00.000-04:00Tom read Freakonomics and quite liked it, John.
