There weren't technically named because we couldn't tell them apart!<BR/><BR/>Of the quartet, only one has survived, along with at least a couple generations' worth (+/- 19) of offspring anonymously related to the quartet.<BR/><BR/>It's always reassuring to watch these near-wild outdoor pond goldfishes showing up again after winter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-74727573906527651092007-04-27T14:47:00.000+01:002007-04-27T14:47:00.000+01:00RIP Klutz.*offers kleenex*RIP Klutz.<BR/><BR/>*offers kleenex*Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639094548415759560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-82334653361372830102007-04-26T15:52:00.000+01:002007-04-26T15:52:00.000+01:00Sorry to hear this.
