- 4 years ago, my son brought home an itty-bitty goldfish he won at a carnival. I thought a bowl was better than a bag.
I grew to love that little fish and the baby sitter would exclaim almost every day for 2 years "I can't believe that fish is still alive!"
Then, when "Goldie" started getting odd red streaks a year ago, I did some searching on the internet and found I needed to get a proper home for my growing goldfish - "bowls are inhumane!" everyone was yelling at me.
Petsmart sold me a "starter" kit: 10 gallons with Topfin filter. They sold me some gravel (you know, that neon colored stuff), crummy flake food, some plants, and 3 otos to keep the tank algae free.
TROUBLE BEGINS...
1) STONE: Goldie ate a bright blue stone and I was up all night trying to figure out what to do (have you seen the youtube videos about how to get a rock out of a fish's mouth? I didn't have the nerve) -- but Goldie managed to either cough it out or somehow make it go away.
