DO NOT HIT THE GOLDFISH

Don't hit it with a chopstick or scold it with pencil. Don't touch the
goldfish with anything. Would you beat a kitten with a baseball bat for
scratching on your couch, Ingrid?

The internet is not a place to suggest violent solutions to animal
problems. People who don't buy books written, for example, by fish
experts when they have a fish problem, and instead choose to ask about a
billion strangers for advice in a newsgroup, will take the advice & end
up doing lame things like blinding their goldfish with sticks or at least
making the goldfish miserable for behaving naturally.

Guess who stuck that little goldfish in with the big one, regardless of
their size at the time: the owner did. So the poor goldfish deserves to
be punished and beaten senseless with a wooden rod, right? Yeah that'll
teach it not to let the human buy it & toss it in a tank with another
goldfish and a...skull. Silly goldfish, will you never learn? THWACK!

surprisingly, people use a chopstick or something like that to knock
the bully a couple times when it starts chasing a smaller one and that
seems to teach em to stop doing it. Ingrid

I have 2 small gf, in a 20G. They arived 4 mos. ago were about the
same size, one bigger now. Smaller one just started going in (and
staying in, I think) a skull, the other GF can't fit. The bigger one
has been chasing after the smaller one lately,so the smaller one is
pretty smart. The smaller one comes out at mealtime and seems pretty
normal else wise. Any suggestions?
