Question of the Week – July 15
Here’s my question of the week!
If you could have any animal in the world and shrink it down to a goldfish-sized pet, what animal would you choose? What name would you give it? Why did you choose that animal and name?
Should be some fun answers here!

I would choose an elephant. Why? Because when I saw the tiny elephant that got hit by the shrink ray in the movie Despicable Me, I thought it was the cutest thing ever. But I’m not sure what I would name my goldfish-sized elephant! I need to think about that.
How bout Blue
That’s a good one! Or how about Hilary?
I know a good name! how about you call it… an elephant i shrunk down to be the size of a goldfish!!!! i am genious!!
Good one… and original!
LOL!!!
I’d probably choose a dragon. I really like dragons, and their cool and all, but i suddenly wondered what it would be like if dragons were goldfish sized. The only problem would be trying to find it.
That would be super cool, Olivia. You could have a dragon in your pocket!
A panda because they’re adorable and im from china so they are our native animal. I’ll call her piano because pandas are black and white just like piano keys.
Good answer, Ying! And the name is perfect for her! Have you ever seen a panda before at a zoo?
Yes, I saw one at the zoo in taiwan
Oh nice! Was it a baby panda or full size? It must’ve been so cute!
There was a baby and a full grown one they’re both cute but the baby was cuter
I hope to see the panda at the Toronto Zoo soon!
I would pick a pig because then the pig would just be a little baby piglet and it would be so cute!!And of course pigs are my favorite animals!!
Or the baby piglet would even more miniature size than the mama pig!
I would probably choose a Tiger. I like tigers because they are two of my favourite colours, Orange and black,also tiger ice cream is my favourite! The Tiger is also my favourite animal.
I haven’t had tiger ice cream in such a long time! I forget what it tastes like. Is it orange and licorice?
Tiger ice cream is my favourite ice cream too.
I would pick a tiger:)
Nice!
I would choose a leopard. But I wouldn’t want to shrink it down to goldfish-size. It would lose its majesty if I did that. 😉
I love that you used the word “majesty,” Katie!
If I could shrink any animal down to a gold fish size I would choose a duck because it has the flappiest and the funniest flat feet I have ever seen. I chose the duck because it is funny and adorable and so are it’s children. I would name the old fish size duck, Duckling the Duck because it would look exactly like its child because the child is a duckling.
Duckling the Duck, I love that name! Ducks do have the funniest flat feet. So cute!
I just heard from reader Gracie who wrote:
I would shrink a bear, because I love bears and and i would love to have one so small and as a pet.
Good answer, Gracie!
I would choose a panda for sure. That would be super cool.
This is a hard one, but I think a cat the size of a goldfish would be adorable. Except I’d have to make a special place for it because if it ran around the house someone might step on it. I’d name it Meeka (my real cat’s name is Kameeko, Meeko for short).
So you would have a Meeko and a Meeka? Neat! Maybe you could have a little inner tube for Meeka so it could go with you down your lazy river in your cool room.
LOL!
I would probably choose a baby seal because they are just so cute and fluffy!!!! I think i would name it scout.
Awww, baby seals. One of my favourite animals, their faces just melt my heart.
