Griffo,
Ah the life in the long lost western state!
The goldfish was created by one of the FSO's and hung from the Aldis Lamp because there was no other use for the tower cabin!
It did initially grow very good fungi and mold on everything because the aircondtioning was running but had not been set up properly.
Cost around $1k/month until it was shut down.
Many visiting pilots commented on the goldfish. Even to notifying FS when it had fallen down.
The Flight Service Unit had its resident Alsatian dog Tora who would be there at 0400 opening and featured on the closing check list to ensure he had been evicted for the night.
