So Fergison, my goldfish, I'm convinced is a miracle fish. Early this week... Friday actually, I found him on the floor. He looked very dead. I panicked and didn't want to touch him. I left him for my mom to find... I walked by about twenty minutes to a half an hour later and he's on his other side... So I scoop him up and drop him back in his bowl, convinced that he's going to be dead later. He's fine.

A couple of years ago he looked like he was also on his last fins. He looked rather sickly and unhappy. We gave him a new bowl and then left on a two week vacation. We come back and he's healthier looking than ever with a brand spanking new tail.

That's twice he should have died and yet he's still alive. He cost me fifteen cents and I've had him for four years now. How's that for a feeder fish?

Miracle fish! You can start selling tickets. 4 years is very long for a fish. Is he a goldfish? I do know that he should be in a tank with a filter because apparently the oxygen doesn't last in water in a regular bowl, but your fish seems to be disproving that theory!

Maybe he's a magic fish! Quick ask him for a wish! :)

Weird. If it were me, I would have dropped him back in the bowl the moment I found him, dead or not, just in case...but then, I'm pretty hard to panic, since I've had to deal with pets dying before. It happens when you keep small pets which generally live less than three years, at best.

He's a tough little fella isn't he? Goldfish usually are, but that's pretty amazing.

I swear it's a majick fish

A phoenix fish. *Nods*

He's a goldfish. An ordinary 15 cent feeder gold fish. And while four years is a long time, that's nothing compared to my mom's who lived three times that long.

Well as I hear it goldfish have really short term memory. So maybe it just keeps forgetting it's supposed to die?

No, wait, magic fish. *nod*
