Most of you reading this will at some stage in your lives have owned a goldfish. Maybe somebody close to you bought it for you, maybe you won it at the fun fair, or maybe he just turned up at your door one night looking up at you and your heart melted.
But many tales of happiness involving goldfish have ended in tragedy. Over feeding, lack of feeding, lack of sanitation, consumption of cornflakes, cat attacks or even suicide have all led to early deaths in bowls and tanks around Ireland, much to the devastation of those of us left behind.
For any of you affected by such grief, facebook have the group for you, aptly named
“I had a fish once. It died.â€
