Goldfish
noun
A gold fish is really just gold in color, but it's still called a goldfish.
きんぎょ

I scooped this goldfish at a goldfish scooping booth during a summer festival five years ago.
金魚もかぜをひくんですか?
Can goldfish get colds, too?

Goldfish only have three second memories so they’re always surprised when they realize that they live in a castle.
