...the Female Goldfish has literally risen from the dead! A deceased Goldfish she is no more!


So I was cleaning the tank out for Goldie and her terrifying Male companion(who seems to take up half the tank) and inthe seperate bowl I temporarily keep them in I noticed serious signs of distress from both of them.The Male was struggling for breath and Goldie just stopped and floated sideways. I put the new system in the tank and put the Male back in,but was not going to bother with Goldie,who was not moving at all and was "obviously" no more. I put Goldie in the empty kitchen sink where she lay motionless. The Male had fully recovered in the Tank but what was the point of re-introducing him to his dead companion? But to try to show him she was "gone" I put her in and he ignored the 2dead2 body.She floated sideways and got stuck under the tube circulating the water.No movement apart from being swirled round by the flow of the oxygen system.

As I was about to fish her out,I thought I noticed a mouth gesture.Surely not!? Then the fins "appearred" to slowly move but surely it was the ebb and flow of the tank.To my amazement there was life.She stopped floating aimlessy sideways and definitely made some solo movements!(tu)

Anyway bottom line is they are both swimming merrily around eating their food wondering what the fuss was all about!:))


I'm fairly new to Goldfish ownership(having simply rescued the 2 goldfish left behind for 3 months by my previous next-door neighbours so can anyone tell me-Is this normalB)

I'm genuinely sorry it's come to this TLS, but you have to be warned and warned now.

Never, under any circumstances try to cross-pollinate Monty Python and Fawlty Towers in my presence again.

It's one of those situations, where if the two worlds get too close then they 'planet shag' and we return to 'Love Thy Neighbour' and 'The Good Life' being the only comedy shows on TV. And if they shagged each other we'd end up with Richard Briers as a Black factory worker and Paul Eddington as his sexy bikini-clad wife, with Kate Williams playing the part of a White male bigot, and Nina Baden-Semper playing the part of that peculiar little geezer, whose only line was 'I'll 'ave 'alf'.

And no one wants that surely?

As Bernard Cribbin's character in the Fawlty Towers' episode The Hotel Inspectors remarked "I'm not a violent man..."

TLS, I trust you'll accept this in the spirit intended.

All hail the coming of TLS for he isn't just a very naughty boy, he is the Messiah, and an East Dulwich miracle has been performed.


We can apply to Rome to have the miracle recognised and a sainthood bestowed on TLS. I had an audience with His Holiness in Rome two years ago (I kid you not) so obviously I've already got a foot in the door and could put a word in.


I feel honoured just to share your post code TLS.

Ah, TLS the end of Jeremy K when the DNA/lie detector results are revealed is of course too good to miss. Sets one up nicely for Pip and Fern that does.

Well the Pet Shop Owner told me that Godfish(presumed "dead" but in a state of "shock" do need another shock to enliven them so who knows?..Your Famous Five might still be Alive!":))

Look after Goldie?..Her Male companion does that job! He never stops growing and soon lets me know if they are hungry by flailing around and threatening to jump ship until I get the message!B)

U sure they are goldfish and not some sort of fish shaped demon representative of the devil?

      This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.

      Same here. Incredibly selfish behaviour. Also illegal.

      I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!!
