In animation, fish, sea horse, a squid and lobster swim under the sea.

The title of the show reads "I’m a." Different types of fish and crustaceans appear below the title.

A goldfish in a fish tank says HELLO, THERE.
I'M AN EXOTIC FISH WHO LIKES TO
LAZE AROUND THE CORAL REEF ALL
DAY.
TAKING IT EASY, SWIMMING FREE IN
NATURES BEAUTY.

The fish stutters and says WHAT I MEANT TO SAY IS THAT...
I'M A GOLDFISH.

China appears highlighted in a world map.

The goldfish says I WAS ONCE FROM A VERY EXOTIC
PART OF THE WORLD THOUGH.
IN ANCIENT CHINA, FISH LIKE ME
WERE TAKEN FROM RIVERS AND
LAKES, AND BROUGHT TO LIVE IN
PONDS, WHERE WE WERE BRED BY
PEOPLE TO BE EATEN.
THANKFULLY, NOW PEOPLE HAVE
DECIDED TO KEEP US AS PETS IN
THEIR HOMES, BECAUSE WE'RE SO
PRETTY TO LOOK AT AND EASY TO
KEEP.
NOW, WHERE WAS I?
OH, YEAH.
IT'S OFTEN SAID THAT WE GOLDFISH
HAVE SHORT MEMORIES...
BUT I CAN REMEMBER WHAT I WAS
DOING UP TO THREE MONTHS AGO.
UGH...
YEAH, SWIMMING 'ROUND HERE.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO LEARN
THAT GOLDFISH NEVER BLINK.
YOU SHOULD TRY IT.
IT'S NOT AS EASY AS YOU THINK.
LIKE YOU HUMANS, WE CAN SEE IN
COLOUR.
THIS IS UNUSUAL FOR FISH,
BECAUSE MOST JUST SEE IN BLACK
AND WHITE.
WE LIKE TO LIVE IN MUCH BIGGER
SPACES THAN THE SMALL FISH BOWLS
AND TANKS THAT SOME PEOPLE KEEP
US IN.
IN FACT, IF WE LIVE IN BIGGER
ENOUGH SPACES, WE CAN GROW MUCH
LARGER, AND CAN LIVE FOR MORE
THAN 40 YEARS.
SUNLIGHT HELPS MAKE OUR
BEAUTIFUL COLOURS AS BRIGHT AS
THEY ARE.
IF WE DIDN'T SEE ANY SUNLIGHT,
OUR COLOURS WOULD FADE AWAY TO
ALMOST GRAY.
PEOPLE THINK THAT WE LIKE TO BE
ON OUR OWN, BUT WE ACTUALLY
LIKE TO HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS
AROUND.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT, LADS?

Many other fish join it in the tank.
