My Immortal Goldfish

Almost two years ago, my brother bought a pet goldfish because he thought it was unfair that I got one for a science project. He named his tiger and put it in the same tank as my goldfish. Within days my goldfish was lifelessly floating on the top of the water, "belly-up".

I just don't understand it! This fish has survived for so long, I'm seriously considering the fact that he may be immortal...........but, you be the judge: 

 The water in our fish tank maybe gets cleaned once every two to three weeks, so as you can imagine, it builds up a lot of fish crap. Any regular goldfish would die, wouldn't it? Tiger eats twice a day a large pinch of food(which explains all the fish poop), and he seems to be getting larger and larger! I wonder....if I put him in my bathtub, will he get humongous?! If so, I can hardly say that would surprise me. 

He has even survived under harsher circumstances than just dirty water. You see, our electrical outlet in the kitchen has two plugs in it: the fish tank, and the phone. I unplugged the fish tank to open a can of soup with the can opener, but forgot to re-plug the fish tank. Whoops....

Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until the day afterwards when I came home from school and Tiger was floating at the top of the tank, barely moving. But don't call me a goldfish murderer, because we changed the water in the tank and plugged it back in. Tiger lived on. 

Now he is still living happily in the fish tank in our kitchen. However, he freaks us out every now and then when he stops moving and floats near the top of the water. I think this is a after-effect of his near-death experience.............

All I can say is that Tiger lives on as a crazy (immortal) goldfish.


Update:  I just read online(yes, from a reliable source you picky people), that goldfish can remember things for up to three months, and they have emotions!Aw crap.......I'm sorry I almost killed you Tiger!

 Fin.(Literally!:D)
