i knwo you probably think i am stupid, cruel, and ignorant by now. i would just like to let you know that i am not. i found a new home for the goldfish, my tank temp is fine, and im working on the emerald shiners. i have made rather idiotic posts and made stupid descisions, but trust me i care lots about animals, have reported illelgal and unethical animal treatment many times before, keep fish, doves, chickens, goats, rabbits, and others , and most of all have a deep love for all living things. i am sorry that som of y posts did not convey this
