 Goldfish bowl, memory like a goldfish, and so many other cliches and trite sayings. They declare societies views of goldfish. They’re the first pets people get their kids to make mistakes with, they’re the fish we see on social media with children holding a baby goldfish a couple of inches long, crying that their pet has died. People laughed about the story of a child taking his goldfish to bed with him. The fish died incase you were wondering. To top it all we give them away as prizes, the cheapest prize. Oh you didn’t win the stuffed toy, here...

The announcement of thousands of cave paintings in the Serrania la Lindosa in Columbia may seem like a mildly interesting bit of news, but only really for archaeologists and historians right?

 Think again. There is a fascinating wealth of information from these records that can help us fish keepers thousands of miles away.
