No sad little girls today!
Jesse is a common goldfish, a.k.a "a feeder fish." Common goldfish tend to be very skittish and shy, probably because they are breed to be eaten, so it took a bit longer for Jesse to become friendly than his late tankmate, who was a friendly fantail goldfish.

However, now that he's an older fishy, Jessee LOVES attention, and he LOVES the little girls who LOVE to feed him fishy treats out of their little hands. Mostly Bubbles.
His tank is directly behind our table, so in the morning when my husband and I are enjoying our wee, baby-free hours in the morning, sipping coffee and chatting, Jesse is right there, blub-blubbing at us and dancing so we can see him.
Our fish is a pet, not a decoration. He'd love to be with us all the time, like a golden retriever. When we clean the tank, he's rubbing on our arms and nibbling those treat-giving fingers.
I'm so glad he's still with us.
