Yup, that's what happens. They're called "goldfish bowls" for a reason. If they are kept in larger tanks, they grow to fit that environment.

Pet goldfish dumped into a Minnesota lake have swelled into monsters, photos show

The goldfish too were eating ducklings whole. Not fully grown ducks.
So I meant both of them. We had videos being shared on messaging apps. There was one of a goldfish swallowing a duckling, the duck mom going after it and then a different goldfish eating a second duckling.
The average goldfish lives years. We once had a couple that lived like 10 years.
"OMG Goldie it's so good to see you again! You're looking very healthy since I released you!"
I fuckin love this post lol. Been awhile since I played Sekiro but a sad feeling just hit me too lol.
The same happens with terrapins here in the UK. People release them into ponds because they don't realize how big they get/how much they smell and they can devastate the local ecology.
Well Billy, when a Mommy goldfish and a Daddy goldfish love each other very much…
What game is this?"OMG Goldie it's so good to see you again! You're looking very healthy since I released you!"
It's not like they think "Huh, seems like I have more room to grow!" and power up. Goldfish are supposed to be big fish. If they're in a small bowl they have less room to move, so they can physically only get so big. Those restrictions are removed and their body continues to grow.
Fish legit eat ducks. A popular fishing lure is a duckling for getting medium/large fish, like pike, musky, large carp or bass.
This guy is catching Northern Pike which are pretty serious fish and will eat fucking anything, but any topwater feeding fish will hit a duckling lure from time to time... certain carp, bass, musky
I know nothing about fish, why do the goldfish have that dot pattern across the body 2/3rds of the way up in the photos
I worked in a pet store and refused to sell goldfish on countless times, "but it's just a fish" always pissed me off. Just because they may survive in a bowl doesn't mean it's healthy.
Goldfish can live 20+ years and grow up to two feet. They are extreme eater and pollute water like no other, very high ammonia output that is toxic.

Actual wild goldfish can get monster-sized since, y'know, they're a type of carp, why is this surprising?
Haha. Thankfully a decent amount of people were passionate about their animals like games.
Yeah found that out when we got a surprise baby in the pond, they eat their own eggs and fry.
One thing that dating an aquatics specialist has taught me is that almost nobody seems to know how to properly care for goldfish. They can live forever and get fucking enormous!
Like she'd have customers arguing with her about it when she'd describe the necessary tank setup, "it's just a distraction for my kid it's only going to live a few weeks I don't need all this stuff" which, first off, disgusting to talk about a living creature like that, and secondly, yeah they only live a few weeks when you drop them in a bowl and slowly torture them to death jfc
I...never knew the true potential of goldfishesYou think those are big goldfish?

You think those are big goldfish?
Those are koi:
Dumped aquarium fish decimating native species, hurting habitats
West Australian waterways are becoming filled with enormous dumped aquarium fish, who are spreading disease and decimating native species.

Yeah, those definitely aren't from the same specimen in the OP.
