I wouldn't be surprised if that is more likely down to water quality and muscle development.

Most fish bowls are too small for the fish people commonly buy for them... for example, a fish bowl is totally unsuitable for most goldfish, who can grow from that little inch and a half fish to seven or more inches long.

Is it any wonder that THAT would shorten their lives? Especially if most fish bowls aren't automatically equipped with filtration stuff to deal with the waste that a goldfish produces AND they quite often don't keep the cooler temperatures goldfish need?

he never said they were in a fish bowl in his orignal statment he said them so i assume he had a few and that they were in a tank, so i'd imagine it was done to look like a natural environment that is why i said how was it bored.
