[AG] Free Goldfish in Phoenix, AZ

arid_gardener
Two years ago I decided to populate my backyard pond with a dozen
refugees from the feeder fish tank at the local tropical fish store
[hey, at 10 for $1 it was a screaming deal]. Overwhelmed by their second
lease on life and obviously desiring to make the most of their remaining
days, my little ones have gone forth and multiplied. I am culling the
school [who am I kidding? I take whatever I can catch.] and have now at
least a dozen gold fish, hopefully more, to pass on [free of course] to
a good home.

These are your 'garden variety' goldfish, mostly orange, some white,
some bicolored; some even pregnant! Beautiful fancy tails though. They
are not accustomed to being fed, and forage for themselves. Smallest is
3.5 inches, most in the 4-5 inch range. I believe they could still come
indoors as denizens of a larger bowl or tank, but someone else's pond is
also a possibility. Don't confuse these with koi, which are ravenous
vegetarians and eat everything in sight. I'm only losing some plant
material now because of MY poor herd management practices!

Any takers? Don't you think they'd make a GREAT stocking stuffer? I'm
partial to my little fellas, and, anyway, it's too early to be putting
one under each seed of corn in the garden......
