“Goldfish are flowers .. flowers that move.”

Han Suyin (the pen name of Rosalie Matilda Kuanghu Chou 1916-2012) - Chinese-born Eurasian physician and author.

They wouldn’t stay still for me! But I was using ¼ second pseudo shutter speed.

As mentioned elsewhere I only have an iPhone where I’m staying. For this shot I held the lens against the aquarium glass and slowed the “shutter” speed to around t0 roughly ¼ second using an app.
