This has been such a cool story! I can't wait to hear the story in the newsletter and see photos. I am moving into my new place tomorrow, and am going to set up a potted water garden, probably about 40-50 gallons or so, ideally. If any of the goldfish would be happy in this sort of setup, I'd gladly take some.
