Well, one of my goldfish (both fancy types, not feeder fish) just tried to commit suicide. He (or she?) has been acting weird the last couple of days. When I was on the phone (with my mother, thankfully, so it was easy to put her on hold), the fish just flipped out ... literally. Some frantic swimming, a jump, and the next thing I know the fish is flapping around on the floor (which is a good five-foot drop from the top of the tank). I thought he/she was dead. I put him/her back in the water, and after just kind of floating at the top of the tank for a couple of minutes, he/she was back swimming around with the other one.

Fish are insane.
