Small Spaces

A customer showed me a picture of her fish that she has, wanting me to identify what sort of fish it was.
From the looks. 
It was a goldfish.

Yet. When I told her that the customer was like "BUT IT DOESN'T ACT LIKE A GOLDFISH" 

Why?
Because it just lays at the bottom of its ONE GALLON bowl all day and doesn't go up to the surface to eat food.

So she wanted to get another goldfish to give her current one a friend.

Which is a good idea because goldfish are social and like to have a buddy.
EXCEPT
the fish in a BOWL a one gallon bowl.

Already it's too small for one fish.
Especially because in the picture the goldfish looks to already be a good 3 inches or so long already.
Which means it's too big for the bowl.
And she wants to put ANOTHER one in. 

Despite my best attempts to tell her to get a bigger tank or a tank with a filter.
She was insistent that the bowl would be fine.
*exhales*

So I told her she would need to change the water more often than she had been.
Because she wasn't taking no for an answer.
And got her another goldfish.

Hopefully it does alright.
But we'll see....
