Thank you. Rock and Roll Bob is in his new 20 gallon tank. I will keep testing and doing water changes along with using the Prime for both fish. On the days I can't test I'll at least do a 50% water change and of course use Prime with the new water. My mom has agreed to come up to my house...

So, you have helped me through my carnival fish, bad advice from the pet store people saga and I've made great strides and a great effort to help these little fish have an good environment. It's not ideal, but I'm hoping it works. I have the betta in the filtered 2.5 gallon tank. I bought a...

Thank you! I called all over and no one has a mini heater. I found one on Amazon, which will arrive in 2 days. My next question is, should I just keep the beta in the tiny bowl from when I got him from the pet store till the heater arrives? Or put him in, and add the heater in a few days? Or put...

Thank you. :) The test kit- can it be purchased at Pet CO/PetSmart? Also, for the beta, the petco people said he doesn't need a heater, but I know better to not listen to them. So do you think the betta needs a heater? Thanks SO much. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have found this site!!!

Thank you everyone for your wise advice and helping me through this mess. At this point, I can't do the "ideal". I wish I could, but obviously the circumstances won't allow it! I think what I might do is buy a large tank and put the goldie in it. Then I'll stick the beta in the 2.5 gallon that...

Great idea on Craig's List. I'll go searching now. Had we planned to get fish, I assure you, I would have done extensive research! But winning a fish at a fair has turned into a fish nightmare. I just want to do right by the little guys. Thanks!

The first fish won at the carnival is a goldfish, the second I stupidly purchased today in case he died (to ease my young children's hearts) is a Betta. I honestly have no one to re-home them, I just moved and know very few people around here at the moment, much less anyone with fish. I now...

Thank you. Wow. I wish I saw this site before I went to the pet store. At least I could have made a better choice in tanks! :( The PetCo guy said it was more than enough space for 2 fish!!! (which I now have) I hate that the circumstances in getting this fish have been so backward. Poor Bob...

My husband played one of those awful carnival games at our local fair and we won a fish. I told him not to, but now we are the proud owners of a inbred feeder goldfish. As a mother of 3, whose kids have become very attached to "rock and roll Bob" (his name given by the kids) I am going to try my...
