As it turns out goldfish can see colors! Even more colors than humans. Most human eyes see shades of the 3 primary colors: red, blue and yellow (Norman’s favorite food colors).

Goldfish see those and 2 more! They can see infra-red, which is a color beyond red that we humans can’t “see” but we “feel” as heat. This helps goldfish detect other fish.

The other color goldfish see is ultraviolet, a shade beyond purple. It’s those bright color shades humans can only see if we use an ultra-violet light.

Say kids, Norman had never even heard of a crawfish before receiving Scarlett’s letter. So, we looked it up in our go-to encyclopedia Kiddle. Here are some fun crayfish facts! and more about molting from Acuriopets. Click below for a closeup of a crawfish in action.

Some friends write letters, some ask questions, some send pictures. Norman glugs them all! Do you think Scarlett looks as worried as Norman’s human does in this drawing?
