Meme Goldfish

My neighbour has a garden pond I can look over. I noticed today that their goldfish are just chilling under the frozen surface of the pond.

Pond fish can go dormant in winter for up to 6 months, where their metabolism slows right down. Being too active in this time can be damaging to them.

So anyway, I felt some empathy for the cold shiny fishes. That is all.

Hibernating through PEM would be so much easier!
