Meet Jim & Pete

Last week we picked up a couple of goldfish after our trip out west to the racetrack. Jim and Pete:


They're lion heads. We found out after we got home that this means they're going to have freakishly enormous heads as they get older... but for now they're still cute. They're interesting fish... no dorsal fin and a double tail fin. Active, too, if not that bright. I've heard that fish have a memory that lasts seven seconds. I don't think these guys have that long of a memory. The other day we watched Pete eat his poo and spit it out when he realised it was not food.
"Hmmm, what's this?"
(gulp, chomp-chomp, blach!)
"What's that thing that just came out of my mouth?"
(gulp, chomp-chomp, blach!)
"Oh, what's that? That might taste good!"
(gulp, chomp-chomp, blach!)

This went on for some time before he got distracted by an air bubble.
No offence, buddy. Ah he won't remember. More photos:
