@brenda said in Goldfish. I get it.:

I had a pair of goldfish while in college, George and Myrtle, named after some relatives. George jumped out of their fish bowl nearly every day, ...

Ah, George was the New Hampshire sort of gold fish.

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

[89th]

@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.

That’s hilarious

Ayup, that's the deal right there.

You always find the perfect ones, Cats.

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.

A betta goldfish? You from Joisey?

@brenda

Actually if it’s my 3rd it should be a gamma

@89th What happened? Did they both jump out?

[Mik]

Got cat?

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.

Just don't drink it, m'kay?

@george-k
You must be one of those I'll-try-anything-once guys. So how did it taste?

@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. ‍️

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

Throw in some ivy.

'Tis the Season, after all.
