Shifting house left me with an urn no longer useful as a house ornament.  Initially I placed it in the garden.  It looked stylish but I felt disappointed that it did not offer more.  In the back of my mind I remembered  seeing an urn used to house goldfish.  I sealed the pot, purchased plants and fish.  The pet shop staff were able to give me more information and my 2 small goldfish have been in their new home now for 5 weeks and they have 2 doting owners.
