"Holier than thou Goldfish fanatic"?
That's so funny, as I don't even care for them at all. I think they're ugly,
filthy fish. However, that doesn't mean they don't deserve proper treatment.
Every fish in this hobby does.

Even if there were daily water changes, the poor thing wouldn't be able to turn

Research folks. Research!
