Goldfish are cool. I am in agreement with your wife. Not all fish have to be killers and aggressive to be liked. Another thing if you add live plants be careful cause goldfish like to eat some of them. Anacharis is one of their favorites.
I also like peaceful fish but goldfish are just downright boring.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH That guy you quoted just got burned. IMO Those fat fancy goldfish are hilarious to watch. I also love bichirs. Cichlids are awesome fish. I have schools of tetras that are cute. Ghost shrimp are amazing to watch. Arowanas are just plain epic. I could go on forever. I love all fish. Don't even get me started on freshwater stingrays though. Or saltwater eels like the moray.So? I like goldfish too and would love to get a 120gal tank to house either singletails or fancy goldfish. IMO some species of birchir are just downright boring.
Goldfish eat plants......
