My only guess is that Golf balls are a uniform size all over the world therefore it gives a good indication of the size on the fish.

However I could be wrong

I agree with Peanuts, its probably to show the size of the fish.

yes, golfballs are used to see how big a goldfish is, is works even better with a pearlscale as their belly is so round

Yes I agree with others too. Sometimes we see pic;s of fish with coins placed next to them, which could be for the same reason.

Size reference is EXACTLY why it is done. Golf balls are more universally known than coins, and are available worldwide....

Tennis balls, and most other types, float.

well golfballs are used to back up what the dealer said the size is. also its kinda funny to see a golfball and a pealscale together. they look like brothers LOL . im actually gonna put a few golfballs in my new tank as kind of a joke.

Thanks for all the replys. I learn something new today.

FP Putter may start playing golf.Himself being the putter

Well, I must be out of the loop on this one--I alway's thought Golfball's were used as decoration's?!!

Didnt think about that one
