The goldfish's name was Abraham.

I don't remember what season it was but he died during the run of the series.

Are you sure Abraham died because I remember Sam talking to Abraham as well. I know goldfish only last a couple of months in real life, but I just don't recall an episode surrounding his death.

I'm pretty sure but it has been a long time since I saw it. Maybe they got another goldfish and they named it Abraham.

Yes it died and they tried to get a new fish and repalce it off as Abraham. Arnold looked into the fish bowl and said that ain't Abraham. They said how do you know? He said Abraham swimms sort of like this and showed them.

The Adela Said sorry Arnold when I came up I thought Abraham was doing the back stroke, but it was too late.

They flushed Abraham down the toilet.

Goldfish that are properly taken care of(which most are not properly taken care of) can live up to 30 years.

I have 3 goldfish that I gotten in 1985 and they are all still alive.

When Arnold's fish died and they held the ceremony in the bathroom...Arnold was off-camera and you could him say, "Those who come from the sea, shall return to the sea"...Then you hear the toilet flush.

Sam's goldfish was named Montgomery.
