The following is what occurred:
This is Gepetto swimming happily in his bowl:
This is Macie playing with Gepetto while his bowl was being cleaned. (yes- I said playing... as if he were a dog or something. She was having so much fun- I just couldn't stop her- plus I had to get a picture!):
This is Gepetto about 20 minutes later when I looked at him in his bowl:
Yes.. he is floating upside down and will not respond to anything we do. Sad to say... Gepetto is dead......... or so we thought..... This is Gepetto 15 minutes after we thought he had died:
He is ALIVE!!! Although he does look injured. He is now swimming on his side and can't quite figure out how to swim straight. Poor Gepetto! We are just glad that we did not flush him when we first saw him dead. And last, but not least, here is Gepetto 24 hours later- swimming happily as if nothing had ever happened! What an amazing fish!

eeekk!! "dead" fish really freak me out, I'm glad he was still alive after all that!
Wow, amazing fish! The only pets we ever had were two gold fish. One gold and one black. I was about 2 or 3 and wanted to play with the fish. Needless to say, our fish weren't so lucky. That was it for the Barnum pets.

That is great!! Little Maci cracks me up. That fish is like MaGic!!!
How funny! I'm so glad Gepetto lived! I can't tell you how many fish I have killed... and I won't tell you about the one that started swimming once I put him in the toilet, because I didn't rescue him from the flusher-fate...
oh my goodness, that is funny...we had one of these fish and when we fed him too much he would float at the top of the bowl. The first time it happened we almost flushed him, but later realized we were feeding him too much! :) These fish are so funny!
