Goldfish Fun Returns to Botany Pond at University Of Chicago
Lyn May of the University of Chicago plans no swallowing of the pond goldfish and takes hers home from Botany Pond. Students and neighborhood children scoop free fish from the pond as winter drains the pond and the spring stock is kept in labs. University ecologist Daniel H Janzen notes goldfish grow large in ponds as dilution of growth suppressing substances occurs.
