ahh goldies are smarter than people think...they do bond...ask my
family....there is a difference in how it acts when I approach the tank
and when someone else does...even if it is purely for feeding
recognition....and as far as pain is concerned...if it has a nerve
system...it feels...maybe not with the emotion and tears...but even if
purely for the instinct to survive....it is why enviroment is so
important
