Email to my friend from school regarding Goldfish he won

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Goldfish dont need a huge 180 smaller is fine, i have some in my pond well over a foot but as long as they reach around 8" they should be pretty healthy. I have a horribly deformed one thats 2" i got it from a guy who kept it in a bowl but its still about 15 years old.

A healthy single-tailed adult goldfish should reach at least 14 inches. Smaller than that and it has been severely stunted. And 14 inches is even quite small for an adult.
 
He is down to 2 Goldfish, and they are both deformed, gasping at the surface, and you cant see the bottom under the yellow sludge of food and crap. The water is yellow and the fish doesn't even respond if you come up to the glass. I told him to remove the crap but he said "So what? They're freakin fish. They can die all they want. I don't give a sh**.''
The Sarasa Comet is not one of the survivors. I even left a bottle of aqua plus on his doorstep and i know he got it, but he refuses to use it.
 
Aw that is a sad story, I am a bit teary eyed.

:(

It really is too bad the negative views people have about goldfish. EVEN PEOPLE ON THIS SITE FOR PETES SAKE.
 
Sad part is, I'll bet its happening once every 2 blocks in any town or city. Thing is, people usually are misinformed. With my friend, its just a phonecall away. But apparently he just doesn't care. He has a dog too, but shows it lots of affection...perfect example of a normal everyday person.
 
i wasnt positive about the tank size, but i was hoping to make him have his heart set on it, so that when he saw the price tag he might be willing to cough it up. Unfortunatly he wasnt willing to cough up enough energy to do a wc.
