Has anyone been whale watching, or swam with dolphins?

What about snorkelling and swimming with the fishes?

Does anyone keep a goldfish at home, or won one in the fair? What about tropical fish?


Can anyone think of a rhyme about fish? eg One two three four five, once I caught a fish alive. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,Then I let him go again.
