I am sort of joking. The odds are probably nill. Wild fish can have tapeworms, but tank raised goldfish...highly unlikely. My father and i used to catch and clean perch caught from the Great Lakes and we would find a tapeworm in maybe 1 out of 100 fish. Tapeworms are intestinal parasites that can live inside humans, and they do, especially in poor countries. Not a healthy prospect!
