Welcome to Muppet Wiki!
Barkley was a pet goldfish owned by Elmo. Elmo introduced Bob to his then-new pet in a 1988 episode of Sesame Street. Unlike the Muppet dog of the same name, the fish isn't able to do any of the tricks Elmo commands it to; however Elmo does notice one thing the two pets have in common: they can both wag their tails.
