We had this big goldfish in our aquarium. It started out gold, I think, but over the years it turned white. I think it was one of those that you win at a carnival or a state fair or soemthing. I remember my dad once found it had a rock stuck in its mouth - so he grabbed a pair of tweezers, pulled the fish out of the water, and spent something like five minutes trying to get the rock out. My parents were convinced it wuold be dead the next morning after being manhandled like that - but it survived, and outlived all the other fish at the time.
That was over ten years ago. I want to say it was fourteen years ago but I could be wrong.
Mom went to feed the fish today and she found it floating, dead.
Sort of sad.
