Large parts of this article have been lifted verbatim from the website, http://fish.mongabay.com/. Yes, references are given, but technically, whole paragraphs should be in quotation marks... so it looks like some major rewriting is in order. --Jcbutler (talk) 08:59, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote these sections, so I think the problem is solved now. Does anyone else actually visit this article? --Jcbutler (talk) 17:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just did (visit). As an amateur aqaurist, I'm kind of horrified by some of the illustrative photos... the goldfish image, by its visual composition, implies that you can actually keep that many animals, in that kind of density. Maybe they're all crowded together in a corner of a much larger tank, but it could be misleading to the newcomer this article seems aimed at. Perhaps this could be clarified in the caption...?
