There is an aquarium on a table with a goldfish swimming in it. Neither other organisms nor other objects have a role in the riddle. David has 20/20 vision yet he sees two fishes. How is it possible?

Simple yet a bit silly. Not the answer I am looking for.

I wonder if he is looking through the corner of the aquarium, and seeing a slightly different image of the fish through each pane of glass.

- against the light the fish is transparent and David, the human, sees a pregnant mother or a formerly hungry fish;
 
- David is a fish;

Nice try. But no other organisms have a role in the riddle.

How exactly could he see himself then? In a reflection? Not at all what I had in mind.

hidden:
Maybe he is also a fish, as stated by above member, and he is now seeing the fish and also because all tranparent material relect a bit, he is also seing himself through refection in glass of aquarium
.Alternately the table is shiny(metal finish).

 
hidden:
Or because david has two eyes ,his each eye sees a image of fish in each eye.

hidden:
I also think that if the gold fish had parasite inside it. after a while, there is a parasite fish and a dead gold fish.  If the fish was pregnent somehow

 
hidden:
You said there is a golden fish, can there be another fish like a cat fish

Welcome to the forum!
 
David is a man and there is no other goldfish other than the one. I'm sure things are a lot clearer to you now.

I think because it sounds like "two fishes".  But perhaps there is also a genie involved.

You both made me laugh. I am full of serotonin now.
 
The title is unimportant in order to solve the riddle. It's just that a goldfish associates me on the Goldfish.
