In one format, goldfish are placed at one end of an open-topped plastic tube full of water, and people use squirts of water or air to propel the fish to the other end of the tube, the first to arrive winning.[1]

Popularity[edit]

Goldfish racing has practised at bars in the United States in the states of Washington, Missouri, Mississippi,[1], California, [2] New York, Utah, New Jersey, and Oregon.[3]

Reception[edit]

Goldfish racing has been protested by PETA.[4]
