I've been cycling my tank fishless for at least a month now, and it's long been ready for fish. I just haven't been able to buy any yet.
However, just now, unexpectedly, my sister brought my nephew over to show me the new goldfish he won for me at a carnival (very sweet of him).
However, I was appalled with the conditions the fish was in. It came in a very small, cheap, plastic sandwich bag, and the water it was in was blue, because it was coloured. Could that be safe at all?
Plus my sister said something about the fish being in a cooler filled with ice..
Luckily, the fish looked okay when it arrived, so I got the tank ready for it, as I wanted to get it out of the bag. When I went to get the fish out, it jump out of the net and landed on the ground. My brother-in-law hurried and grabbed it up and put it into the fish tank. Now it's swimming in circles, which is the sure sign it won't make it.. :/
