Thanks for all the , PD, and suggestions everyone! It really helped!

The girls are feeling a bit better today. We will be going to get Nemo2 in a little bit, and we are just hoping that he lives for at least a day!

Thanks again!

Good luck with the new fish.


I guess you should avoid feeding the kids fish sticks for a few days.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but OMG that was funny!

Thanks, Kild! I needed that!

Most pet stores will replace a fish if you bring the fish in along with a sample of the water.

We won the damn Carnival fish in that ping pong ball game 4 or 5 years ago.

They are in a 30 gallon tank now and are huge - like 8 inches.

One does swim upside down frequently, but I think it is because it is a voracious eater and ends up overinflating its swim bladder. and goes off balance.

Goldfish bowls are not appropriate for goldfish unless you want them to be ex goldfish.

By the way, goldfish are very dirty fish, if you plan on keeping fish, they are not the easiest.

Turn the tank upside down...that way he'll be right side up...
