Would you attempt to cover it up by replacing it with a similar looking goldfish, or would you just come clean?

A friend goes on vacation and gives you their much-loved goldfish to take care of while they're away, but it dies. What do you do?

I'd tell them how sorry I was for their loss but that I followed their instructions to the letter and it just must have been the fish's time. And if it happened more than a day before their return I'd tell them that the funeral service in the bathroom was lovely.

There's nothing wrong with admitting the goldfish died. I've read that they can live for several years but I've got to say, I sure never knew anybody who had any that lasted more than a couple.

Tell them the fish died. No need to cover it up.

I know. Such moral answers. LOL
If it was a basic enough looking goldfish that it COULD be switched with another, then I'd probably consider it if this fish was just THAT beloved by this friend. In the end though, I would still replace the fish, but would come clean about what happened.
