This is the goldfish I have at work. He's on the shelf above my desk. I watch him a lot, usually while I'm trying to think of what to write next, what subject heading would be the perfect one, what to do next, what groceries I should get on the way home, etc.
His name is Leroy because (I've probably posted this) he was bullying the fish in Liza's tank. Our neighborhood bully in Hawkeye is Leroy, so it seemed an OK name. Why do I assume that a bully is male? What would the feminine form of Leroy be?
He's huge, about 4" so far and now growing into his new, larger tank. He's a big boy, just like his human counterpart.
