A Little Louder Please

Last spring Connor bought Taran a small cylinder tank and six tiny "feeder" goldfish. After about two week we were down to one survivor. Goldie (original name huh!) is a beautiful healthy 20X her (Connor decided it was female) purchased size monster. The crazy fish is ALWAYS hungry. The only feeding instructions I have is to feed the fish several times a day and that it should be able to eat all the food you give it per feeding in 3 minutes. Well this fish gobbles the food as fast as it hits the water and never seems full. Anytime I pass the tank she frantically swims to the top expecting a meal. I have even bought the food pellets that are designed to last for awhile and she picks at them until they are gone. At night she does sleep some but often when I pass by in the dark I can hear this clink clink noise of her sucking rocks off the bottom of the tank to look for more food. For Christmas I'm going to give her a new tank and maybe try to find some live edible plants she can nibble on to keep her happy. We'll see.

I'm wondering if her five original companions starved because she ate more than her share..
