Many many Moons ago, when I was just a mere lad of 7... a family friend won a bunch of goldies at a carnival. He gave all the kids in the neighborhood a pair each, in a nice flat shaped 2 gallon bowl. Well as time went by and Goldies being goldies the bowl got dirty. My mom told me I needed to clean that bowl and change water, so being 7, and never having fish to care for before. (Knew how to catch and clean them) I only knew what I saw, Mom clean the dishes in the sink. So with a sudsy sink and dishcloth in hand I proceeded to scrub that smelly bowl with a will. Then I refilled it with clean water, and returned my friends back in...... and they promptly expired! Who knew? Dishsoap is a poison to fish! Well that inspired me to read and find out how to keep fish.
