Goldfish in a cup, happy ending!

[Tropical Aquarist]

So today I was at a white elephant gift exchange, and those have all kinds of junk, but some smart person (IDIOT!!!) brought 2 goldfish in a cup! I was so mad, they were all grabbing them and shaking them to look at them. Then someone made the dumb comment of that "Goldfish have a 3 second memory and they'll forget this in a minute!"

I was really about to lose it! The winner of them really had no interest in them, and I considered asking to get them, But he gave them to someone else.... I asked the other guy if he had a tank and he said he had a 55gal tank with guppies, so at least it's not a bowl..... I am so relieved though!


Anyways sorry for the rambling..... Anyone have a similar experience?

Lol my local club had one too, but sadly was dry goods only....

For some reason there were ~5x 1-2 gallon tanks, brand new that people bought just for that! I was a bit surprised as I was sure most people don't keep fish in such small tanks....

A lot of killifish and small fish breeders will use tanks that size so that there is less space to roam, thus making the odds of breeding better.
