The message

Well, it's not any individual fish, you understand: you feed a smaller
one up to gianthood.

If it would fit a could give it a try but I would need some advice on
food
for it.


Oh, small ones can be got, but I think only certain species grow really
big. ISTR that some of the Mercadian ones may reach twelve or fifteen
feet, but I've no doubt you'd get a more impressive estimate if you
asked a Texan.

Already got 200 goldfish (separate place) - I wonder if it would be
happy
with the odd bag of same food occasionally.


They're bottom-feeders. This means they feed on the bottom of the river
or water-butt, not through their bottom, BTW.

Thanks for the thought - but I think I will stick just to goldfishes as I
don't know any Texans
