    @89th how has the two year old reacted to the goldfish thus far?

    @axtremus she gets it Friday morning. I’ll let you know! It’s one ACTIVE fish, I wouldn’t be surprised if it jumps out of the bowl before then.

        Ayup, that's the deal right there.

          Ok, I was wrong. We’ve gone through 2 goldfish in less than a week.

          If we get another one, it’ll be a betta.

                    Maybe the water needs to have the chlorine treated to make it safe for fishies. I use a product to treat the froggos' water. It's cheap and lasts nearly forever. I'll find a link for you. BRB

                          89th, it may be more than just chlorine in the water that needs treatment. Some of the aquarium products will do that.

                                  @brenda thanks! I actually was using those!

                                  @Friday The first fish was just too big for the tank, so I flushed it, the second fish was a good size but either was too sensitive, or something. Not sure. 🤷‍♂️

                                    ... the second fish was a good size but either was too sensitive, or something.

                                    Just in case it’s the “or something,” maybe mix in some holly water for extra protection.
