SOLVED kid's book about a fish that grows [s]

[Ari]

When I was a kid, there was a picture book about a kid that gets a pet fish, and the pet store owner tells him to feed the fish just so much and no more. The little boy feeds the fish more than he should and the fish grows bigger and bigger until he has to put it into bigger and bigger containers. Anybody know the name of the book?
