Fin Pal asks Norman “Are You Fast?”

Hey Norman! I have a question for you . . .

Goldfish Fact: Goldfish can swim up to .86 mph. More than four times their body length per second. The fastest human in the world can swim up to 2 meters per second, that’s not quite one body length, in the same time. Think about it, size-to-size, Goldfish swim 3 times faster than humans!

Fin Pal asks Norman "How Much Does Norman Eat?”

Goldfish Fact: Goldfish do not have stomachs like we do. They eat, their bodies take what they need as the food goes through their digestive system and the poop out what is left. You should only feed your goldfish what they can eat in a few minutes. After that scoop out what is leftover. And if you want, it’s better to feed goldfish tiny snacks a few times a day rather than one big meal. (Learn more about goldfish care at Goldfish Keepers.

Fin Pal asks Norman "Any Siter or Bruthers?”

Goldfish Fact: Goldfish lay eggs. But they also eat their own eggs, and the babies when they hatch. So out of all those eggs, only about 10 will survive—if they are lucky. Goldfish eggs take 8-10 days to hatch.

Norman was one of the lucky ones, wasn’t he? But what about the other eggs?
