The easiest way to help people realise the potential of the fish is to show them. Go to a fish shop that stocks fish for ponds and are already a good 8" long! Once you know their potential size (and have seen it) it's hard to look at a 1" goldfish in a bowl and not be reminded that you're preventing it from getting to that size.
