While we're on the subject of goldfishes, I forgot to mention I too once had a goldfish, his name was Rascal, and rightfully named so, he was a VERY aggressive fish, if we ever tried to bring any other fish home, he'd literary try to eat them! He bit chunks of scales off of their sides and so we eventually gave up trying to bring home more fish.
I'm sure that was one fish who went straight to **** in a handbasket.
