'''Vladimir and Estragon''' are [[Mr. Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn's]] pet goldfishes. Their first appearance was in "[[Cents-Less]]," where their names were also revealed. They were being fed "breakfast" (fish food) by Mr. Ratburn. Vladimir and Estragon live in Mr. Ratburn's house, in a small fish tank that contains a mini-castle sculpture.

The names, Vladimir and Estragon, are based off of the two main characters from a play called ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot Waiting for Godot]'' by Samuel Beckett. In the play, Vladimir is an intellegent and optimistic character while Estragon is a simplistic character who has a negative outlook on life and humans. Estragon, however, is attached to Vladimir and needs his protection which is why he is seen as more of a child to Vladimir's adult and parent-like character. Since one of Mr. Ratburn's goldfishes is smaller, it can be assumed that he is Estragon, while the larger one is Vladimir.
