  2. I too like your blog.

    A question - we have a 7 or 8 year old goldfish (I call it a "Carnival Goldfish" because of where it came from). He/she has outgrown several tanks and it's obvious it's growing into the space we provide. Is this a fish that can be put into any pond in our backyard and survive? This fish is a member of the family now - we don't want to see it come to harm at our hands!

    Thanks. :)
