THEY DIED! THEY ALL DIED! (goldfish)

[zookuw]

I had this fish named Dorris who was pretty cool. He was one of those fish that have long cloth like fin thingys that were cool. Also he was red.

Then we had this loving goldfish from a fair that stuff everywhere and were totally disgusting and didn't live nearly as long.

I cried when that fish died.

Get those dark green sucker fish. Those are hardy, had one that grew huge.

their rather hardy and live long when cared for properly.

Its cool that you said that, I've been upset over losing some aquarium inhabitants I've lost and people never seem to understand unless its a dog or something bigger.

Also goldfish really do stuff everywhere. Mine are stuffting 24/7, its unbelievable.

There are two golden rules people are confused about when it comes to fish tanks:

- Small tanks are not good for beginners, they are extremely difficult to maintain because they get dirty quickly due to low volume water.
- Goldfish are bad for beginners, because they never stop stuffting and they double in size very quickly

You're suppose to let them swim around inside the plastic bags for a few minutes inside the fish tank.

You just murdered your fish into shock.

Good job at reading, Tony.

I certainly didn't post about how I did let them adjust to the water, like two posts before yours.

A++

So they shoved all of the same type of fish into one bag? Then they could of died of suffocation.

Yes, SUFFOCATION.

Incase you didn't know, fish don't extract oxygen directly from the water molecules. They take in oxygen DISSOLVED in the water. So when there's 20 fish in a single bag, there isn't much oxygen to go around, or diffuse into the water from the air (Assuming the bag is tied).

The bag was tied. That's probably exactly what happened. :C

i remember when i got fish
they murdered eachother and bled out into the tank
