What was I thinking?
My daughter tossed a ping pall into a cup about two years ago, and we came home with a Comet goldfish.
At least, that's the story I've been telling everyone for two years.
Only, that story isn't true.
Oh, the parts about the daughter and the ping pong ball and coming home with a fish are all true.
But after feeding the fish this evening I was watching them, as I often do....
I watched the little Shubunkin.
I watched each of the two Fantails.
And then it hit me.
Wait a minute... that's no Comet goldfish.
It's a Common!
I have to chuckle at myself, as I've been reading a lot about goldfish and caring for them lately, yet, it only strikes me now.
Ah well... Common or Comet, though it had a really rough start in a tank far too small, at least it has a much bigger home and an owner who's more educated about how to keep it, now.
