Giant Goldfish 

It looks, to me, as if this creature is asking you, who the heck you think you are looking at?? !! :-))

As a matter of fact, the animal was quite sociable: it came to me repeatedly and seemed to beg for food –a nice non-cannibalistic trait, for there were lots of small goldfish in the pond. I haven’t given it anything, though, one reason being that the corners of its mouth were turned downward –so it didn’t look as nice as many furry creatures–, another, that I didn’t have eatables with me.

LOL this looks like one of those koi kind
my sharky was the real thing a plain old goldfish that grew to
a remarkably giant size and was beautiful
he lived almost 12 years! I miss my sharky :-/

I'm sorry to hear about the existence of sharky and about his passing away in the same post...

Otherwise, what I like about dead goldfish is that you don't have to give them to the taxidermist, but can take them to the goldsmith and have him make a fine peace of jewelery out of them.
