Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Two hong kong fish breeders are angling for a place in the guinness book of records with a giant goldfish (red oranda)the size of an average housecat.the fish measures 37,2cm(15in).. I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Bruce is not one of those..thanks god I say..natural is the way to go I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.
