Goldfish in wedding decoration?

Question

I am thinking about putting about six Gerber daisies in a large rectangular vase for my table centerpieces at my wedding. I want to put a gold fish in there as well but I'm worried about them dying. They would only be in there for half a day at most. What do you think? Any advise?

Answer 1

I;m sorry, but they will die because goldfish are very sensitive.. plus.. it might look a little tacky.

Answer 2

My concern would be what people would do to the fish. By the end of the night some drunken groomsmen would probably think it was funny to get the fish drunk or something...lol.

Answer 3

You should fist run a test.

Test a gold fish in the rectangular vase before you decide to do this.

Just to be safe because imagine people expressions when they see a fish floating around.

Answer 4

Please don't do it!

Think about this:

What will you do with the fish afterwards? Do you have a pond or large tank that you will raise them in? The goldfish will p**p ALOT and in a small bowl that can raise the ammonia levels very quickly and ammonia is damaging/deadly to fish.

But if you're okay with animal cruelty then go ahead and do it anyways.

Answer 5

Wow, these answerers are paranoid.  It's only half a day, your goldfish will be fine.  And if the fish isn't fine, then who cares?  It's your WEDDING.  You should be able to do whatever you want.  A six dollar goldfish (I assume you'll get a pretty one) is an acceptable loss for your WEDDING, for crying out loud.  It's just a fish; where are their priorities?  And it'll probably be fine anyway (I've rescued fish from worse) (carnivals, fairs, Walmart, all of them treat the fish worse for weeks and weeks than you will for half a day).  

Honey, if that's what you want for your wedding, do it.  The fish will be fine, and you only get one chance for your wedding.  Have it like you want it.

NO
