Hey cool! I’m the first to post in this section.
Thanx for the new ones, celestrialdude!
Anyway, I’ve been researching goldfish, and have found there are a limited amount of silver goldfish but they are not a “true” silver or only partially silver, and nobody is actively breeding them to be that way. Why, I don’t know. There are a bunch of really, really butt-ugly goldfish…
Only place I’ve seen them is the “feeder fish” section. Not a healthy place to get them. Maybe I can get closer to the source though…
In history, when the Japanese began breeding goldfish, they prefered the “gold” ones, and did not breed the silver ones. Hence forth, the silvers should have disappeard. And yet, they still exist, albeit, usually unwanted.
Do you think there is a potential market for good-looking silver goldfish?
Name is oxymoron I know, but aside from that?Let me know what you think. I’m not doing anything yet, just research and musing.

I guess the name "silverfish" is already taken by an insect, so, too bad...Yeah, I’ve heard. How silly. I was thinking Argento goldfish which is silver in latin.

Yikes! That’s weird!
I have no clue how that happened. Let me dig into the database tables and see if it’s something I can fix…
OK, I wasn’t able to find any sign of my post where I first mentioned “silverfish”.
I changed Atlantis’ post back to the correct owner.
I have no clue how this happened, but I’m guessing it’s a rare glitch where there’s some kind of “collision”, and my post disappeared because they both had the same IDs… however, I incorrectly became the owner of the follow-up post.
I’m hoping this is rare… maybe something to do with HTTP POST submissions, if you wanna get technical… but let me know if you see anything like this again!
Hopefully it’s not some hacking going on!
