Su****hus far has been my favorite pet. I know, it may seem odd - out there. I'd never had a fish before, always cats and occasionally dogs. One of our neighbors gave us their old aquarium when they moved out and I quickly ran out and bought a few of the 7 cent gold fish and a plecaustomus. All but one of the fish perished. The Pleco survived too. Three and a half years later Sushi is longer then my hand from palm end to fingertip. He's naughty and has been known not to take kindly to tank mates aside from the pleco. He even bullies the snails that we have to keep getting! Five so far have fallen dead after his incessent poking and nipping. I LOVE this fish. He bobbles near the top of his tank when ever someone enters the room "begging" for food. He's lovly! Perfect orange from tail to tip. So.. my goldfish is my favorite pet.. and here I was sure I was going to grow up to be a "crazy cat lady". LOL!
