Why Go? There must be something in the water. At least that’s what I observed when looking into this phenomenal fish convention. c, or aquarium fish, seem to have an insatiable fan base (“Aquarists”, F.Y.I.). You can watch this to see what kind of wacky enthusiasm I’m talking about. Even if you’ve never owned a goldfish, this event can take you to new (and possibly dangerous) depths.
