3 long finned zebra danios, 3 long finned leopard danios, 2 long finned "blue" danios, a 3/4 inch yoyo loach that the fish guy threw in for free, and a rescued single finned 3/4 inch baby P. senegalus (his fin grew back and now he is my favorite fish) . . . in a ten gallon. . .

my mother had dozens of gold fish.
i found one of her old 20 gallons on the balcony.
dusted it off, and killed the insects in it (centipedes and spiders).
it held 3 fish. I had the tank half full. kept it outdoors with blue gravel and an abalone shell.
one fish died.
i felt horrible.
i wanted to be a better pet owner.
4 dead rummy nose tetra, 1 dead bleed-heart, 1 dead otocinclus, 8 dead glass shrimp, 4 dead feeders, 1 eaten feeder, 2 waves of ich, tank full of neon gravel, then beach sand later and here i am: black flourite, well planted, and happy fish. It has been three months since my first gold fish death
it's been an exciting fishyful summer
