I just got a goldfish and the Sims

[kandrathe]

I put a couple dozen in my outdoor pond last summer. They were very happy through the summer, and grew to about 4" long. In the fall we held a goldfish round up in the pond, and I coral'd 10 of them in an extra 30 gal aquarium. I tediously tended them through the winter until May, when it was safe to repatriate them into their pond.

Suddenly it seems they are good eating size for the racoons who have dwindled the population down to 2. Ah, well, I didn't want to have to care for them through another winter anyway.

My 3 yr old son has a Beta named "Dennis" (ala "Stanley") -- who seems to be very hardy.
