Leave it to me to find and bring home what could turn out to be the highest maintenance goldfish ever to live (if he lives). We noticed that poor Mr. One Eyed Willie (Nelson) has to swim constantly or he floats to the top... after an internet search we tried to remedy the situation by hand feeding him little bits of thawed peas. Nope, not kidding. Took a field trip to a specialty aquarium store today and the owner told me that fat round goldfish (the type I have always loved and the kind that I bought) are the bulldogs of the fish world (meaning lots of health problems due to breeding...cue my internal monologue, screaming and crying, "NOOOOOOO!!). Long story short, he could live years with his faulty swim bladder (which is causing him to float) but we may have to hand feed him. Have mercy.
