    @89th said in Goldfish. I get it.:

    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.

            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.
