Kinzie's fish died. Again. For her 5th birthday Kinz decided she wanted fish. We go all out, buy the tank, the supplies, the decorations, etc and let her pick out 5 fish. All but 4 of them died in the 1st week.
So we go back to the store and got 4 more fish. Several had babies (they died) and then the 4 new fish died as well. So we were down to 1. Her name was Sandy Cheeks. We joked around about Sandy Cheeks being a killer fish, but sadly a few days later, she too died. :(
Fast forward to April 13th, school carnival, Kinzie wins a goldfish and names her Twinkle Toes. We stuck TT in a vase for the weekend and decided that if she was still alive by Monday, we'd buy a better set up.
Amazingly enough, it seemed like TT was thriving, so we bought the tank (much smaller-i.e. CHEAPER) and 4 days later Twinkle Toes went belly up! So now I have to decide if I should let Kinz get another fish to kill. She says she misses her Twinkle Toes and wants TWO fish!
I swear I think we are going to get banned from Petco! lol
Just a thought...are you using tap water? We used to have a hard time keeping fish alive until we stopped using our well water and used bottled instead! Lol. Something about the ph being way to high in the well water.
ReplyDeleteOh, and, COME ON MOM!! Buy the poor girl another fish!
Ok, no we don't use tap, we use bottled, and yes we broke down and got a betta, he's been around for almost a month, hoping we don't kill off Flynn!! lol
