Thanks so much for giving me that goldfish and fishbowl. Goldfish are not meant to be kept in bowls, but you didn’t bother to find that out before you bought it, did you? Now I have to deal with the B.S. of keeping a large tank for this boring ass fish. Please people, don’t buy pets as presents!

Flush the goldfish and buy a Siamese Fighting Fish for your bowl. They do well in small bowls and don’t need the filters and other claptrap.
Don’t take your anger out on the fish, he just wants to live. He did nothing wrong. Flush your friend for buying you an inappropriate present.
Eat the fish. It’s win-win: empty bowl + full tummy.
I sent this bitch. It was my mom who gave me the fish so don’t exactly think i can kick her to the curb lol. But don’t worry, I treat it good!
